No 4612 was one of a class of 863 0-6-0 pannier tanks from the 57xx Class, built from 1929-50, They were used for shunting and light mixed traffic duties were once a regular sight in Cornwall.

No 4612 was built by the GWR at Swindon Works in 1942. It was based in the Bristol and Swindon area. It ended its days working in South Wales, before being withdrawn in July 1965 and ending up in a scrapyard in Barry.

Rescued from there in 1981, No 4612 was bought by the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway as a source of spare parts for sister engine No 5775. The pannier tank (or the remains of it!) was then purchased by Elaine & Ray Treadwell in 1987 and extensively restored, latterly at the Flour Mill workshop in the Forest of Dean.

In 2000 the loco was purchased by the Bodmin & Wenford Railway Trust and launched back into service on 29 July 2001. Following 10 Year overhaul, the locomotive arrived back at Bodmin in August 2013, in GWR green livery.
The Bodmin Railway Preservation Society (BRPS) was formed in July 1984 Since then the Bodmin & Wenford Railway has operated trains – principally steam, but with some heritage diesel services – over the 6½ miles between Bodmin Parkway and Boscarne Junction via Bodmin General. The railway has now firmly established itself as one of the country's finest steam railways, Cornwall’s only full size (standard gauge) railway still regularly operated by steam locomotives.
