3968 THE WHALE - Built 1924 - HARRY HALL OF DERBY - Scrapped
This engine was delivered to Harry Hall of Derby for his "Gorgeous Glittering Whales" Scenic Ride. The engine was fitted with the larger cylinders of the contractors type engines. The engine joined No. 4921 LORD CURZON. This photo shows the engine with chains strapped around the rear wheels to get better traction in the muddy conditions. The engine was being used to rope out other engines and caravans at the end of the Fair. Sadly the engine was scrapped at the end of its long, hard working life.
