Planet No.21

 Built by F.C.Hibberd & Co.  No.1612/1929.

New to Worthington & Co. Ltd. Breweries, Burton-on-Trent as their No.10.  Some of its duties replaced horses which were used previously. 

Originally built with a 40hp Dorman petrol engine, but later fitted with a diesel engine.

Worthington & Co. merged with the Bass brewing company and the loco was renumbered 21 in the pooled fleet.

Sold to the Railway Preservation Society in July 1967.

This loco saw a good deal of use until at least the late 1970s.
