She was a shunter there for fifteen years and during that time she met a little terrier known as 685 during one of her shifts. This little tank engine she would meet often as he brought coal from Tunbridge wells to and from here. They got on well for many years despite being owned by different company's. She was moved all over the place during WW2 and was finally settled on a small branch line from Lewes to East Grinstead. Soon her number changed to 31156 as BR took over. She was again moved all over the place until her withdrawal in 1964 where she would meet the Little terrier again. in 1968 she and the terrier was saved by the LVR and soon had there own names and could work again.
