Roger - aka I.S.C. ltd No.2 ... 0-4-0ST Wren class built in 1918 by Kerr, Stuart [Stoke on Trent] wksno. 3128 Supplied to the National Smelting Company's zinc refinery at Avonmouth [near Bristol]. Kept as a spare loco after dieselisation following WW2, it was finally sold in 1959 to CH Lambe & sons of Bromsgrove, who in turn sold it to Canadian collector Charles Matthews of Thornhill, Ontario. In 2013 Roger was to be overhauled, but Canadian red tape required boiler work that would have irreversibly altered the appearance and historical character of the engine. Therefore, and very sadly, Mr Matthews sold 3128 to Statfold and she came here permanently in 2016. The overhaul included a repaint into the grey livery of the Imperial Smelting Corporation, the successors to the NSC.
