FOWLER 20337 of 1934, a 40hp-type 0-4-0DM, was delivered to the Mid Suffolk Light Railway (the ‘Middy’) in June following restoration, where it will be a resident.

The loco was delivered new to the Shredded Wheat Company 85 years ago and was recently rescued in a very dilapidated state by current owner Tony Goff.
