King Haakon VII arrived at Quainton May 1971, leaving for the Ashford Steam Centre in January 1972.  It subsequently moved to the Great Central Railway, Loughborough, on March 27th 1973, where it operated for a number of years.  It was purchased by the Bressingham Steam Museum, Norfolk in 1986.  Since then it has had extensive restoration, returning to operation in 2006.
