The locomotive was new to the Newport Tinplate Company, Abercarn, in 1911 later finding work with British Steel at the Ebbw Vale Steel works.
Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. was a builder of steam and later fireless and diesel locomotives. The company's history dates to foundation of an engineering workshop in 1840 in Kilmarnock, Scotland." Text Source: (
