Eaton number 1546.Unfortunately 2146 was left behind as she was unsteamable but she was in the line up on the field .Not sure if any other Allchins also stayed on the field - there were other steam engines present but not Allchins. I dont remember the rollers but I think one was at the Hunsbury Railway museum around that time.

Maybe there will be another Allchin reunion one day, it would make a very good show.
