The loco, which once worked at Frys chocolate factory - a well remembered brand - has moved under its own power for the first time since 1956. This was achieved by using an air compressor, not under steam. After a rather chequered career since then it finally passed to an owner who is restoring it at the Avon Valley Railway, which passes near the site of the old chocolate factory.
