Reg. of Sodor Nos. 1 and 4 were on display at Drayton Manor Theme Park. During 2009, Reg. of Sodor No. 2 was also briefly moved to Drayton Manor Theme Park during the construction of its Discover Thomas exhibition. The boat was not used on the layout, however, and has since disappeared, presumably into storage. When the exhibit closed and a new layout was constructed elsewhere in the park, the models were returned to storage.
