The locomotive was shipped across to the mainland Europe in 1944 and in 1947 was sold to Poland as part of the Marshall Plan. The loco ran in Poland until 1985 when it was withdrawn. The locomotive was bought by a NYMR benefactor in 1991, and overhauled in Poland and then shipped to the UK in 1992. The loco ran until recently although was not loved by NYMR drivers and fireman, it is currently out of traffic and up for sale! Thanks to Peter Finch for this information.
