The crews in Wales took a liking to the one off Mogul, and refused to send back the engine, saying she was a perfectly fine locomotive. The engine spent the rest of her life under the LMS and British Railways wandering the region around Rhyl, overhauled at local engine works.

She was at Crewe, set to be scrapped, when Rhyl sheds phoned for an engine to replace another that had been in an accident with some trucks. 52620, had yet to drop her last fire, and so was sent to cover for the the stricken engine

While the 52620, then L&YR 1948, did perform stably at speed, it was decided to not pursue any more of this variation.
while normally being a non-standard one off design would have speeled doom for any engine on LMS metals, 52620, then 12620, was spared by a twist of fate.

Lore Piece for the DWR AU:
"and here we see 52620, a unique variant of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's class 28, it was built as a mogul with 5'6" drivers designed by George Hughes in hopes of curing the class's tendency to dive at speed.
