This Ruston & Hornsby 88DS was built in 1951 for the White Peak Limestone and Tarmacadam Co. Ltd, for use at their roadstone coating plant, near Matlock. It isn't known exactly when it arrived at Small Heath, but it must have been after the take-over of WPL&T by The Shelby Group as it was already carrying a Shelby logo when it arrived. It seems that it was sent to the Watery Lane workshop for repairs and was exchanged with another loco and stayed at Watery Lane and Strong's scrapyard.

After rail traffic ceased at Strong's, it was parked in the former Midland goods and grain warehouse and was missed by the Strong's men and the contractors who cleared the site after closure and clearance of the yard. A group of IRS members visited the goods and grain warehouse in 2002. By this time it was being used by a tyre fitting company and the loco was found under a thick layer of dust and a pile of used tyres! It is still there but several attempts by enthusiasts to purchase it have failed due to the owner of the site thinking that it is worth far more than it really is.
