Peckett 1999
Peckett no. 1999 of 1941, originally built for the Crowlands Gas Works in Southport. It went later to Darwen Gas Works, where it was replaced by a diesel in 1963.
It found a home on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, moving to Steamport on loan in 1974. Steamport closed in 1999 and it was moved to the Ribble Steam Railway, who subsequently purchased the loco from the K&WVR. Restoration is ongoing.
This photo, by Ray Gell, is dated 1974, which probably places it at Steamport.
