No. 11347 was supplied new from the Invicta Works to Thorne & Bates of George Green, Buckinghamshire on the 12th October 1925. She was then sold to Langley & Johnson of Slough, Buckinghamshire and then ended her working days with Ashford Macadams of Staines, Middlesex. She was purchased for preservation in 1962 by T.D.W. Petty of Berkhamsted, then to Kenneth Drew of Luton, Bedfordshire before ending up with Bob Garnett of Bristol. The present owner purchased her in pieces on pallets in January 1997 and then carried out an extensive restoration back to working order, including a new boiler barrel and firebox over a period of five years.
