    This loco was at North Woolwich which has closed (what's the building like now?) and from this topic viewtopic.php?f=98&t=15424&hilit=north+woolwich it is said it went to Waltham Abbey Gunpowder Mills but on their website I can't find a mention.
    where is it?

    thanks

    Thanks for your info black5. I hadn't heard of this flour mill and looking at their website they have four locos, three of which once worked for one of The Big Four.
    That website is bang up to date as it states 5521 was at the NRM until mid July and has now moved for a few months to the NNR. But before we all rush to combine a visit to Parkend with the flour mill, it states on their Home Page:-
    "The Flour Mill is a listed building which was converted to a railway workshop in 1995 – 1996, and used as such since 1996. The Flour Mill Ltd operates the business in the building undertaking work repairing and overhauling steam locomotives. As we are a workshop and not a steam centre or visitor attraction visits are strictly by appointment only".
