Down to nowhere
BBT 3021 / 1951
An ominous sky threatens Brush Bagnall Traction built 0-6-0DE 3021 of 1951. It is seen outside McClaren's Antiques, based in the old Cambrian Railway Workshops at Oswestry, where it rubbed shoulders with several other industrial locomotives at the time. The loco was built at Stafford for the Consett Iron Company and employed a Mirrlees TL6 engine rated at 355bhp. It moved Trostre Tinplate Works, Llanelli in 1971, until it passed into the ownership of the Llanelli and District Railway Society in 1991. The following year it was nearly scrapped, but was instead saved and moved to the Shropshire Locomotive Collection at Wellington. A further move in 2001 saw it move to Oswestry. It moved again, this time to Cheadle in Staffordshire, but it seems that the loco has since been scrapped.
