The Green Peckett
Never named or numbered, this Peckett had worked at a chemical at Oldbury until being displaced by diesels. It was still in working order and had a boiler ticket when it came to Strongs, due to it having been kept as a spare at the chemical works. A re-organisation and take-over there meant the transport manager, who had a soft spot for the engine, retired and it was sold for scrap. It was used often at Strong's, especially in the winter of 78/79 when fuel froze in the diesel locomotives. It was eventually retired and sold to to be plinthed as "Percy" at a Thomas The Tank Engine theme park.
