In 1927 it was hired out to the Cheshire Lines Committee to help with some civil engineering work. They managed to badly damage the locomotive and it had to be rebuilt. The original White & Poppe petrol/paraffin engine was replaced by a Baguley petrol engine which was less powerful but adequate for it's duties at the biscuit factory. No. 680 returned to work and remained in use for forty years as the spare locomotive on the company's internal network. No. 680 remained in service until the factory closed it's internal rail network in 1967 and was preserved.
Since retirement 680 has spent time at the Beamish Open Air Museum before arriving at the Statfold Barn Museum in 2011.
