It was used on the line which ran from Dunheved out through the paddocks
in the Kingswood direction, serving a variety of well-separated
ammunition storage areas. It used to be stored and serviced at a large
building a few hundred metres inside the fence near Dunheved Golf Links.

The loco is not still there, although it still exists.  It has had at
least two owners since it was at Dunheved. The loco experts will no
doubt provide all the fine details.
