3813 was dismantled for an overhaul, which was cancelled, and the loco was
ordered to be scrapped. It was then given to the RTM. The little bits were
placed in S trucks which ended up at Thirlmere. The big bits (boiler, frame,
tender tank and tender frame) were at Clyde. There was a sudden need to
clear the big bits from Chullora, but RTM were not in a position to take
them. They were offered to DSRM by RTM on the basis of immediate removal.
