Its first allocation was Neath and later Shrewsbury for almost ten years, Croes Newydd, Machynlleth where it was a regular performer on former Cambrian lines, and finally back to Shrewsbury from where it was withdrawn in October 1965 and sold for scrap to Woodham Bros at Barry Docks. One of eight Manors saved for preservation, it is currently operational on the West Somerset Railway.
