Churchward 28XX 2-8-0 No. 2807, visiting from the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, is seen at Shackerstone, on a bitterly-cold January 11th 2025.

She was the oldest loco to be purchased by Woodham Brothers for scrap, being built in October 1905.

She was allocated as follows:-
Westbourne Park, Old Oak Common, from 1911 she was allocated to Aberdare, and Pontypool Road. After WW1, she moved to St. Philips Marsh, followed by Tyseley in 1924.

Her BR allocations were thus:-
Hereford January 1948, Worcester June 1948, Hereford August 1948, Worcester July 1951, Chester September 1957, Pontypool Road June 1958, Ebbw Junction June 1958, Newton Abbott in December 1958, and finally Severn Tunnel Junction, in May 1960.

She was withdrawn from service in March 1963, and arrived at Woodham's in September 1963. Luckily, she left Woodham's in June 1981.
