Spent its working life at Cawdor Quarry, Matlock in Derbyshire. Was rescued by Brian Roberts, of Tollerton, Nottinghamshire, who named it Ffiona Jane after his daughter. He sold it in 1979 to Pete Clark who named it 'Fulstow' after the village where he lives in Lincolnshire. It now works on the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway, where it has recently undergone its first ten-yearly overhaul.
Built at a cost of £860 for the tight loading gauge restrictions of the Courtaulds system at Holywell Junction, Flint, it is only 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) tall, and often referred to as the "Flying Bufferbeam". The site was split in two by the LMS Chester to Holyhead railway, being linked by a short and steep incline access tunnel. The loco would shunt wagons of waste, from the Rayon fibre plant, to the sea wall where it was dumped. To enable the operation, the loco would work flat out down one incline to make it up the other side. Eventually, safety concerns meant that in 1954 the operation was replaced by a rope-incline and two diesel locomotives. After a works overhaul, she moved to the construction of Courtaulds' Grimsby plant, but on start of plant operations was replaced by a Sentinel, and kept as a spare. Sold into private preservation, it arrived at Buckingham in September 1971[138][139]
