Description
Leeds Fowler 4220001 Charles Wake was
Built in 1959. It is a Leeds Fowler 0-4-0 locomotive.
The original owner Fisons at Stanford-Le-Hope in Essex, put the loco to work at Avonmouth Docks near Bristol.
The shunter was declared surplus to requirements, and was stored in a siding until it was delivered to Hunsbury in 1998 for restoration.
It was named Charles Wake in honour of former NIRT President and driver Charles Wake, who passed away in 2005.
Here it is seen in 2024 at the Northampton Ironstone Railway (NIRT) on the 15th April 2024.
A vibrant blue and red diesel locomotive pulls a single green carriage on a narrow-gauge railway track. The scene features a cloudy sky and lush greenery, with a person seen disembarking the train on the left-hand side.
