Along with the Apedale Valley Light Railway's Kerr Stuart Stanhope, the locomotive performed run-pasts between Porthmadog and Hafod y Llyn with demonstration freight trains.

Gelert's sister engine is currently undergoing restoration at Boston Lodge Works for eventual use on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway.
