The former British Sugar Corporation Hudswell Clark built 0-6-0ST (Works No. 1682) No. 54 "Julia" has since left the Nottingham Heritage Railway or Great Central Railway, Nottingham as it is now known, and has now relocated to Israel Newton & Sons Ltd. at Cromford in Derbyshire.

The loco is making progress and is starting to look like a locomotive again. But it is a big overhaul as the loco needed a new cylinder block, which is being machined at the moment.

The need of new cylinders is becoming an issue with old locomotives now, and this is possibly the first ex industrial loco to receive a new cylinder block.
