The loco arrived in the UK in October 1997 and was placed in store at
Minffordd awaiting restoration.
The engine (which is not the original but a 1945 replacement) is probably beyond repair but, in 2007 with the assistance of Mr.Brian Gent, the Greenwich Narrow Gauge Railway Society located and acquired a McLaren 'M4' Mk.2 engine to replace it. It was delivered to Minffordd where it is stored on a 2ft gauge trolley. Both engines are 90 h.p. - the 1928 original was only 60 h.p.
