After hauling the final week of the Jacobite service, the K1, Ian Riley's 37 and the support coach departed Fort William at 08:30 on Saturday 26th October and arrived on the ash pit at WCRC depot Carnforth at about 22:30 after a straightforward trip.
Whilst most of the support crew departed for home that night, Paul Hutchinson and Rowland Bingham stayed overnight and managed to remove the piston valves whilst the engine was still warm on the Sunday morning.
During the final week of the Jacobite service, the locomotive was turned to face boiler forward when departing Mallaig.
