    Hey Chris,

    The engine is a Kerr Stuart well tank known as 'Willy', it's recently been restored by The Flour Mill workshops in the Forest of Dean to use as a yard shunter/hire loco. It was delivered for the Family Fun Weekend, but I'm not sure how long it's going to stay.

    Here's some more info:

    and here is a video featuring the loco at work:

    I wish the Flour Mill would take off that silly headboard. The joke is wearing thin.
