‘Joffre’ Surprise at Statfold
West Lancashire Locomotive Trust members attending the Statfold Barn Railway open day, had an unexpected presentation made to them, when they were donated one of the original Kerr Stuart Worksplates for their Joffre Class locomotive currently under restoration
Mr Graham Lee of the Hunslet Engine Company made the surprise presentation to Mr Neil McMurdy and Mr Alan Jones, both Trustees of the West Lancashire Locomotive Trust, following his recent acquisition of the worksplate from a third party.
After the presentation Graham Lee said ‘ I am keen to see the worksplate go back onto the original locomotive’
Mr Neil McMurdy, Secretary for the Locomotive Trust expressed his gratitude to Mr Lee for his generous gift and advised that the plate would be put back onto the locomotive when completed sometime in 2009.
