Renumbered as 46100 by BR after nationalisation in 1948 the locomotive was fitted with a taper boiler in 1950. It was withdrawn from service in 1962.
Purchased by Butlins, it was displayed at Skegness until the 1970's when it was then taken to Bressingham Steam Museum and returned to steam. In 2009 it was sold to the RSL> and moved to Crewe. Now under the ownership of Jeremy Hosking, 46100 was given a complete overhaul and returned to the mainline in February 2016.
One of only two surviving members of the class - the other being 46115 'Scots Guardsman' which is being overhauled at the moment.
