This engine has previously carried the number 30064, and was last operational in 1984. It requires extensive repairs before it can steam again. Unfortunately some plates are now holed by rust, and some of the cab windows are cracked. As there appear to be no plans for an overhaul it would benefit from some cosmetic conservation.
In 2003, whilst out of service, it was repainted into wartime livery as WD1959. In the past it has been used as a static feature in Southern at War events.
