Hubert was built in 1914 and was sent off to work in the trenches during WWI. After the war he was soon put into industrial use. In 1954 he was bought by the Joon Riverside because they were in need of an engine to transport coal in the coal mines. By 1969 Hubert was getting worn out and spare part were hard to find and maintain. So in 1970 the railway asked the Talyllyn railway if they could borrow their blueprints of what would later be some disused blueprints of Tom Rolt. so they could built a steam engine. The Talyllyn agreed and sent them the blueprints. Soon later that year construction started on the engine. And in 1972. The engine was finished and was given the name Lord Charles. And he became the new No.5. As for Hubert he was put into storage at Joon Works until he was dismantled and scrapped in 1976.
