I can confirm that after withdrawal 564.21 was preserved on the main platform at Gemas for many years but with a tender from 564.12, as per the makers plate on the rear buffer. It was later joined by 564.36 at the south end of the station. A few years ago it was transferred to Port Dickson Army Museum where it was repainted and re-identified as 564.12. Towards the end of steam mony of the survivors were paired with not only the wrong tenders but boilers were also swapped around as were smoke deflectors which carried the makers plates, thus the confusion over numbers! 564.34 at Pekan has the plates from 564.09 but the plate on the rear of the frames is 564.34.

Although this loco was seen in 2013 on display as 564.12 it is believed to be 564.21 'Seloma'. Identities were freely swapped, apparently and 564.12 is a more famous loco, hauling an express out of Kuala Lumpur back in 1953.
