SBR - Peckett at Alston.

SBR - Peckett at Alston.
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]
