Summary
| Description |
English: Sirapite the Works Shunter Sirapite is a unusual and rare shunting engine with and identity problem! Being part traction engine and part locomotive, produced by traction engine manufacturer Aveling and Porter in 1906 for Gypsum Mines Ltd. The engine was bought by R.Garret in 1929 to replace horses, shunting goods between the works and Leiston railway station.
1962 saw Sirapite retire after many years of service, later being bought and taken away by Sir William MacAlpine. However she was neglected and in 2003 was brought to the museum for restoration. Arriving in 2004 many years and over £50,000 of lottery money has meant she is back in steam and the place she worked. |
