The locomotive was operational until 2012 on the Rail-Rebecq-Rognon museum railway. In May 2012 the locomotive was sold to the Belgian zoo Pairi Daiza, Domaine de Cambron - B-7940 Brugelette, where the locomotive had to be parked after a short period of use due to boiler damage. In 2014 the locomotive was brought to the UK to the North Norfolk Railway where a general inspection was carried out. As part of the work, the locomotive received a new boiler and the running gear was completed again with the third axle. In July 2016, the locomotive returned to the Belgian Pairi Daiza animal park after being refurbished and is in use on the park railway. 50.5851205 3.8812293
