Built at Bristol in 1929, this is the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust's Peckett R3 class 0-4-0ST 'Kilmersdon'. It spent its working life shunting collieries in the Radstock area, of which Kilmersdon was one, and was the last working steam loco in the Somerset Coalfield when the final colliery closed in 1973.
