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.

Retrieved from THE ADELAIDE TRAVEL BUG CONNECTOR by owner to try a location with, perhaps, a better chance of moving offshore.
