W.G. Bagnall 3147-3150

No. 3150 is one of three diesel-mechanical shunters built by W. G. Bagnall in 1959 for operation at the NCB Wolstanton colliery in Stoke-on-Trent.

Information
Number built: 3
Built: 1959
Builder: W. G. Bagnall
Motor: Gardner 8L3 diesel

While the three shunters were built to the standard W. G. Bagnall design mechanically they were very similar to the British Rail Class 03.

Wolstanton No. 3, as 3150 was known, worked at the colliery until production winded down in 1985. It was sold for scrap but rescued for preservation and has been on the Foxfield Railway ever since. The other two locomotives were scrapped.
