| Description | From a Hamilton Davies Trust Heritage Board at Irlam Station. Peckett 0-4-0 saddle tank shunting locomotive (loco) works No. 2027 Manufactured by Peckett & Sons at Atlas Locomotive Works, Bristol, the loco displayed is almost identical to the ones used by local industries between the 1890s and mid-1960s. Loco No. 2027 left the Atlas Works on the 6th July 1942, having been bought by the Ministry of Supply for dispatch to the Royal Ordnance Factory at Sellafield in Cumbria. In the 1980s the loco became redundant and was moved to Carnforth Steamtown Railway Museum where it was stripped down for boiler repairs. Unfortunately, the loco then laid idle in sidings for several years. The unused loco came to the attention of the Hamilton Davies Trust. Being virtually identical to the C.W.S. Soap Works Peckett loco, HDT decided to buy the loco from Carnforth in July 2019. The Soap Works operated a 'Soap Works Special' train, which was pulled by a Peckett loco, to transport office staff to and from Irlam Station. The loco and wagons were repaired, painted and re-branded locally by Wykes Commercial Services and installed in December 2019 at Irlam Station, completing the 'Wheels of Local Industry' display. |
