    I've just seen a picture posted on Facebook of a green 4 wheel O&K tender parked in a yard in Shallcross in Derbyshire.

    There are also a coupe of bogie wagons on site and a few dozen lengths of rail.

    Does anybody know the identity of the loco that the tender is from?

    Cheers!

    Yup, that's the tender from an O&K that was at Statfold, 5662 built 1912, but what I find fascinating is the wagon chassis, the bottom one looks to be a 'Pershing' flat from WW1

    Looks like a French Péchot wagon rather than an American Pershing one.

    Lower one is definately a WW1 péchot well wagon with it's removable stakes missing.
    Upper frame with the rails on is more of a mystery. Not from a british D wagon as far as I can make out but if its of similar vintage could be of Pershing origin.
    Need to check the WW1 drawings "bible"!

    To answer my own question, just looked at the Froissy Dompierre website and the upper frame appears to be the same as their restored WW1 Decauville bogie dropside wagon.

    Anybody got any idea where the wagons may have come from?

    Has 5662 been sold then by Statfold?

    It certainly doesn't feature in the new (March 2014) Statfold Guide Book.

    All (or at least some) can now be revealed - the Pechot wagon was being restored off-site by members of the Moseley Railway Trust. It has now been transferred to Apedale for completion. See the News page on www.mrt.org.uk or the Facebook page.
