Edward Thompson, the designer of the locomotive, entered traffic on 24 May 1946 at Gateshead, before changing sheds three times in the next four months. The locomotive was eventually settled at Kings Cross from 12 September 1946, and at nationalisation, it was given the temporary British Railways number of E500, before being renumbered as 60500 on 7 October 1949. As top line duties dwindled, 60500 Edward Thompson was moved to Peterborough's New England shed on 4 June 1950, where the locomotive remained until withdrawal on 16 June 1963.

Please note that the box and model dimensions are shown as identical, however, they only represent the box/package size.
