Harrogate's name and maker's plates were affixed during the restoration at the Bredgar & Wormshill Railway [Kent]. (more details in the caption to the previous image)

Harrogate : 0-6-0ST Built in 1944 by Peckett [Bristol] wksno 2050 . Originally built for Harrogate Gas Works, with a modified cab to pass under various obstructions. Sold in 1956 to the Festiniog Railway and unofficially named Volunteer, it was too heavy, too wide and the wheelbase too long for the line [I overheard the PW Manager expounding on the topic]. The FR sold it on to Bredgar & Wormshill Rly, who completed the restoration and provided the name & maker's plates. It then came to Statfold, and in due course visited Alston in 2017, where it met Barber, the first time the two had met in 60 years. [Note: Barber's cab profile has also been lifted, for crew safety reasons].

Liassic was built by Peckett [Bristol] during 1923, as an 0-6-0ST. . She, along with three other stablemates, worked for Rugby Cement at their Southam Works. Liassic arrived back - from Canada - in 2012 and was overhauled, entering service in 2017. . Note : her stablemates have also survived. [locations as at 2018, will check later] Triassic is at the Bala Lake Railway, Mesozoic is in a private collection in Herefordshire, and Jurassic is at the Lincolnshire Coast Railway, near Skegness.

Peckett 0-6-0ST [works no 2050] built in 1944 for Harrogate Gas Works [was 'volunteer' at the Festiniog Railway, but never operated as her wheelbase was too long and her axle-load was far too heavy] Moved to Statfold Barn Railway, overhauled and operational in 2015 Harrogate is seen here under the new train shed roof at Alston on 15th October 2017 [the "tender" contains an air compressor and reservoir for the train brakes] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statfold_Barn_Railway & www.statfold.com The re-roofing project (& platform2) were part of the 2016 Railway Development Project, which received considerable grant aid. This is detailed in the following article on the STRPS website ... www.south-tynedale-railway.org.uk/the-south-tynedale-railway-development-project

0-4-0 DM "Austins No1" Peckett (built 1958 in Bristol, works no 5003). . In the late 1950's, Peckett attempted to diversify their business by entering the growing diesel market. Only five diesel locomotives were built of which "Austins No 1" is the only 0-4-0 survivor. (An 0-6-0DM, works no. P5014, built in 1959, is owned by National Power and preserved at Aberthaw Power Station in South Wales.) The locomotive was built in 1958 but it was not sold until 1961. For the next 10 years it worked for the West Yorkshire steel stockholders, James Austin & Son (Dewsbury) Ltd - thus the name. In 1971 the locomotive was no longer required by them and was moved to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway on permanent loan, where it worked regularly until being withdrawn in the early 1990's. Following discussions between the Middleton Railway, the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and the locomotive owners in 2001, "Austins No 1" was moved to the Middleton Railway where it underwent various modifications including the fitting of vacuum brake equipment to allow the working of passenger trains. Currently (2015) operational.
