According to the RCTS website, it was at British Oak on 10th July 1955. As that was four years before her withdrawal, my hunch is that she was maybe on loan at the time. I've read of a Johnson 2F being used at Williamthorpe Colliery in the fifties (all BR locomotives there, of course), so it's not impossible that 52044 was at British Oak for shunting.
On the subject of Hudswell Clarke 1727, I'm having a go at bashing up a similar locomotive but with the later cab; a Smokey Joe saddle tank is about the right size and shape, once the dome and tank filler cap are removed, as a shortcut.
