Dunrobin and a saloon were sold in 1950 to the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. The locomotive ran large parts of the 700+ mile journey (from Helmsdale to Carlisle and from Ashford to New Romney) under its own steam. <ref>[http://www.scotlandrailholiday.com/dunrobin/locomotive.htm Journal of The Stephenson Locomotive Society for August 1950, via Scotland Rail Holiday website] (Retrieved 31 March 2024)</ref> The locomotive was exported to Canada in 1965, but acquired in January 2011 by the Beamish Living Museum of the North<ref>[http://www.beamish.org.uk/beamish-buys-dunrobin/ Beamish announcement]</ref> and repatriated to the UK. On arrival, Dunrobin was brought to Bridgnorth on 19 May 2011 to be dismantled and the feasibility of restoration to working order assessed. Contracts were subsequently let to [[Severn Valley Railway Engineering Services]] for boiler and mechanical overhaul at [[Bridgnorth Loco Works]].
