The National Railway Museum's Rebuilt LSWR 2-4-0 Well Tank No. 30587 paid a visit to Quainton between the 17th and 25th June 2006, and again in 2007. Beattie No. 30587 is the sister to Quainton's Beattie No. 30585. No. 30587 is normally resident at the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in Cornwall, close to where the last three Beattie well tanks finished their service with British Railways.

No. 30587 was accompanied in 2006 by the National Railway Museum's replica Rocket locomotive.
