Ryam Sugar Company No.1 : 0-4-0
Built in 1918 by Davenport [Davenport, IA, USA] wksno. 1650
This was supplied to an Indian Sugar Mill at a time when much of British industrial output was concentrated on "war work" such as munitions.
When she arrived in 2013, it was complete with the not insubstantial remains of a tree that had grown through the motion during her long sojourn in the wilderness.
Interestingly, the cab and tender have substantial timber components.
Restoration was finished in 2015.
