Supplied new to R. B. Tennent & Company. Worked at their Whifflet Foundry, Coatbridge, being named ROBIN. Worked until 1984. Now displayed outdoors at the Summerlee Heritage Museum, only a mile from the factory where it once worked. Today it stands alongside a platform with other industrial locomotives, near the museum mine entrance. You once could view the locomotive up close, but the platform is now closed, in need of repair.
