What a career this loco has had! Built for the British Aluminium Company to three foot gauge, it was named 'Lady Morrison'. Although built by Hunslet Engine Company it was built to the Kerr Stuart 'Brazil' class design.

In preservation it moved to the Durley Light Railway in 1969 where it was re-gauged to two foot gauge and altered to carry side tanks. Here it was named 'Josephine'.

The loco was sold at auction in 2012 and moved to Statfold Barn where it was returned to its original saddle tank condition and received its third name, 'Howard'. Statfold also owns Hunslet No. 3902 to the same design.
