I remember this Barclay 0-4-0ST arriving at Helmshore station in 1970, as the first steam locomotive owned by the East Lancashire Railway Preservation Society. Then it was in green North West Gas Board livery but now, as a static exhibit in the Bury Transport Museum, is in the blue livery of the Burnley Corporation Gas Works that it served. I hope that the (possibly unique) works plates are also still in the care of the society as it was the memorable No.1927 of 1927.
