The following information has been edited from that found on the Bowes Railway website:

Andrew Barclay No 2361 of 1954 was delivered new to the Long Meg works of the Long Meg Plaster and Mineral Co. Ltd. at Lazonby, near Carlisle, on 10th June 1954. It was named "W.S.T." after Mr. William Steuart Trimble, the plaster company's Deputy Chairman. The engine was transferred to the company's nearby Cocklake Works in 1969. It remained out of use until 1980 when Cocklake's owners agreed to place the loco on long-term loan to the Bowes Railway. The loco was overhauled at Springwell and re-entered traffic at Springwell in 1983.
