Together with 01001, it arrived on the breakwater railway on 9 June 1967 by lorry and commenced work by carrying locally quarried stone along the breakwater as required for repairs. 01001 was withdrawn in 1971 and was left inside the shed whilst 01002 kept going until the last duty came in July 1980 whence it was also withdrawn. Local scrap merchant O R Davies and Sons cut 01001 by 26 Feb 1982 and 01002 was cut by 3 March 1982.

The class was built between 1957 and 1961 and was powered by a NBL/MAN W6V engine rated at 225HP for a weight of about 30 tons giving a maximum speed of 17MPH. This loco was introduced to Grangemouth in August 1960 and worked there for 2 years before being reallocated to Eastfield. After 5 years use here, it was finally withdrawn in June 1967 before seeing further industrial use with the NCB in South Wales.
