Description LMS English Electric/Hawthorn Leslie 350hp diesel electric 0-6-0 shunter (EE/HL No.3841 of 1935), LMS No.7069. The engine is an English Electic 6K. In 1940 it was requisitioned by the War Department as their No.18, shipped to France but taken over by the Germans on the Fall of France. After D-Day 1944, it was recaptured by the Allies and then used by the French, working at a General Reserve Munitions Depot until 1957 when it was sold to the Chemin de Fer de Mamers a St Calais as their No.7 until 1972 when it fell into disuse. In 1973 it was sold to a loco dealers who renovated it but it found no buyer until bought for preservation in the UK in 1988.
