1491 Amerton 10 July 2022

Bagnall 0-4-0ST 1491 Isabel crosses over Amerton Brook with the Amerton Railway's 11:30 train on Sunday 10 July 2022. Isabel was built in 1897 for the Cliffe Hill Granite Company of Markfield, Leicestershire. Withdrawn in 1946, the loco was cosmetically restored and displayed on a plinth in Victoria Park, Stafford. In the 1980s the Stafford Narrow Gauge Railway Society Ltd was formed to bring the loco back to life, and after an extensive restoration, the loco arrived at the Amerton Railway in 1991. A trio of Amerton Farm's sheep can be seen in the background.
