As publicity it was given the name Longmoor. On arrival, it and several other War Department locomotives were judged temporarily surplus to requirements and stored at Calais. After the war it was one of the former War Department locomotives sold to the Dutch Railways and taken into stock as part of NS Class 5000II. It was withdrawn in 1952 and set aside for preservation.
