The late J.B. Latham's Peckett 0-6-0ST Triassic (1270 of 1911), usually to be found at the Bala Lake Railway , visited the FR in May 1998 and was used on drive-an-engine duties at Boston Lodge. The loco is a pioneer of preservation, having been the first industrial loco to be bought for private preservation in the 1950s, after a working life at Southam Cement Works.
