Its last shed allocation was Cardiff Canton in March 1959. It was withdrawn in May 1960, and after a period at Paddington and the Science Museum in Kensington, is now preserved at the Swindon Steam Railway Museum.
Between April and October 1924, Caerphilly Castle was exhibited at the British Empire Exhibition, which was held at Wembley.[1]
