Although officially moved to Canklow MPD from Langwith Junction MPD as No.61051 when the shed closed on February 6th, 1966 evidence suggests that the locomotive had already been based at Canklow MPD from October 1965 and employed on carriage heating in Sheffield at Heeley and Nunnery Sidings. It was transferred from Capital to Departmental Stock on February 10th, 1966 and allotted No.31 but this was never carried as by now it was unserviceable and withdrawn almost immediately in March 1966. It was stored at the MPD until May 1966 when it was sold for scrap to Arnott Young of Parkgate and cut up in the same month
