Pilling

This Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST (1885/1955) has been cosmetically restored and is displayed at the entrance to the caravan site that is built on the Knott End line trackbed in Pilling. The loco has been named Pilling Pig, an unofficial name for all trains on the railway which originated with the 1875 loco Farmer's Friend which had a particularly squealing whistle. The number 11302 was actually carried by Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST Knott End, built in 1908 and scrapped by the LMS in 1925. The Pilling Piglet behind may be a representation of the ex-LNWR Railmotors that plied the line from 1923 to 1930.
