An industrial 0-4-0ST steam saddle tank locomotive, built by Peckett & Sons Ltd of Bristol, in 1940, for the West Midlands Joint Electricity Authority's power station at Ironbridge. It retired from there in 1980 and was purchased by the Steamport Museum at Southport. It was sold in 1984 to the Telford Steam Railway. It sometimes plays the role of Thomas the Tank Engine, but currently it is out of service, requiring a new firebox and boiler overhaul. Photographed on the sidings at Spring Village.
