Old Oak Common allocated 6002 King William IV' on an ex-works 'Running In' local stopper is in its final condition, complete with double chimney, high superheat, mechanical lubrication and self-cleaning smokebox. It has also received new front frames and replacement inside cylinder block, the latter possibly having been fitted during this recent overhaul at Swindon Works. In an extraordinary sequence of events 6002 apparently underwent an overhaul at Swindon Works as late as June 1962, at the time when many of the class were being withdrawn, but this overhaul did not spare the engine from being withdrawn itself just three months later, in September 1962.
