The Mystery Steam Locomotive, Exploring Ironbridge No. 3 - What's in the Yard ? - Peckett No. 1990

On this episode of What's in the Yard, we look at our former flagship loco Ironbridge No. 3 Peckett No. 1990, or is it ?

This class W6 locomotive was built by Peckett & Sons in 1940 to work at Ironbridge Power Station in 1940 where it became Ironbridge No 3. Ironbridge No 1 (Works No 1803) had been was delivered in 1933 and Ironbridge No 2 (Works No 1893) in 1936. All three were class W6 locomotives. All were registered to run over the GWR for shunting purposes and all three have been preserved.

1990 remained at Ironbridge Power Station for all of its working career until she was retired in 1980, and sold to Steamport Museum, Southport. Telford Steam Railway purchased her in 1985. 1990 has been restored to full working order, but now requires a new firebox and boiler overhaul.
