The locomotive was initially used for war work at the Ministry of Munitions at Gretna Green. In 1922 the locomotive was bought by the Bradford Corporation to work passenger and goods trains over the Nidd Valley Light Railway between Pately Bridge and Lofthouse, and up to Scar House reservoir. It was initially named “Mitchell” after the waterworks engineer who was overseeing the reservoir project. In 1930 (until 1938) it was renamed ‘Illingworth’ after William Illingworth, who opened the reservoir in 1936 as part of the Nidd Valley Water Supply Scheme. This period of the locomotives life is what is being recreated during this charter.
After the Niddy closed in 1936, the locomotive was sold Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd., were it was renamed ‘Harold’, and worked upon the building of the huge Ebbw Vale steelworks in Wales. It was sold to Mowlem’s in 1940, and once again carried out war duties, this time at Swynnerton and Ruddington, taking the name ‘Swynnerton’.
The locomotive returned to steam at Embsay in 2017.
