Trivia[]

Its number 5741 would later be used on the Thomas the Tank Engine RWS character, Duck, it is said that 5741 "...might not, in fact, be the number with which he was allocated when built...". The real-life 5741 never worked at Paddington as it was first allocated at Aberbeeg, Blaenau Gwent, with its last allocation at Newport Pill when it was withdrawn in June 1957.
