ex BR class 03 no.D2118 at Lenwade Atlas Concrete Works. Norfolk. 07/10/90.

Maintained in immaculate condition by its industrial owners ex BR class 03 no. D2118 is seen at Costain DowMac's Atlas Concrete Works in Lenwade, Norfolk. The loco was withdrawn by BR from Barrow-in-Furness Depot on 18/06/72. It was sold to Anglian Building Products Ltd in August 1973 and spent almost its entire working life at the Lenwade Atlas Concrete Works which by 1990 was owned by Costain DowMac Concrete Ltd. The site used to dispatch concrete beams by rail but the lengthy freight only line to the factory closed in January 1981. After that date the shunter was just used internally with all finished products being dispatched by road. When the factory shut in October 1993 it moved to the companies Tallington Works but by March 1996 it was sold into preservation initially to the SYRPS at Meadowhall.
