While the three shunters were built to the standard W. G. Bagnall design mechanically they were very similar to the British Rail Class 03.
Wolstanton No. 3, as 3150 was known, worked at the colliery until production winded down in 1985. It was sold for scrap but rescued for preservation and has been on the Foxfield Railway ever since. The other two locomotives were scrapped.
