After the First World War the 4-2-2 locomotive was
reserved for hauling the director’s coach but in 1930 after acquiring the
Crimson Lake livery of the LMS the locomotive reverted back to ordinary
traffic working local train services between Perth and Dundee making it the
last Single Wheeler to work in traffic in the British Isles. Each specially
presented limited edition train pack includes a numbered certificate.
