About This Item

Royal Chester 20 Dec 2010

My name is Royal Chester. I was made in Northampton in the early 1920s by William Allchin Ltd. and I was destined to be exhibited at the Royal Chester show in 1925. I spent most of my operational life in Derbyshire but ended my working days in a scrap yard. Fortunately, before being cut-up, I was rescued and restored and can still be seen at rallies in England. The TB was updated in December 2010 by the addition of 1/76 scale model of an Allchin engine. This was kindly donated by Mark Hamilton, another steam enthusiast, from the Geocaching team, FLIPPER&CO. Thanks Mark.

Visiting Cambridge for the day and took Chester out to our cache in Grantchester (of Rupert Brooke fame). Enjoyed the view from the cache and then went to the Orchard for a cake and steaming cup of tea 🙂

Next stop: France!

Went up to the Lake District for a wedding and took Chester for the ride. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go for any walks... but I think he enjoyed the view from the car window!

Took Chester with us when we went for a walk around Caldecotte Lake in Milton Keynes. Saw a narrow guage railway and Chester just had to have a go... 🙂

(unfortunately the train wasn't running else we'd have got a photo of that too!)
