It was one of only eight locomotives given a name from new, the remainder being named between August 1925 and the following February. Isinglass was rebuilt as an A3 in April 1946, which included a new boiler to a higher pressure, matching 27 new A3 locomotives constructed between 1928 and 1935. Renumbered 531 in 1946, the locomotive became No. 60063 under BR and was fitted with a double-chimney in 1959 and smoke deflectors in 1961. It was withdrawn from service in June 1964 and scrapped.
