6619 was built in 1928.

It was withdrawn from service in March 1963.

6619 was saved from Barry for two reasons

  • Being an inside cylinder locomotive hardly any of the parts had been removed as they were so hard to get at
  • The boiler was in very good condition
It was restored between 1979 and 1984 for use on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway with some input from the Kent & East Sussex Railway volunteers. After being overhauled its owners decided that it would go on tour so it visited many railways before ending up at the Yorkshire Dales Railway.
