*B.S.C. No.3, works no 2248/1948
All three were at Foley Park from new, with No. 3 arriving as part of a goods train on 1 May 1948.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Turley (2005)]] p. 76.</ref>. No. 2 was later transferred to the Wissington sugar factory at Kings Lynn, Norfolk in 1962. Steam working ended in January 1969, with No. 1 being sold for scrap in June 1969 and No 3 also being transferred to Wissington at the same time. No 2. was subsequently scrapped but is now preserved at "Rocks By Rail" and No 3. is now preserved at the Plym Valley Railway.<ref group="note">Several websites including "[https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/andrew-barclay-works-no-2248-albert-0-4-0st-2/ Preserved British Locomotives]" refer to 2248 as being based at BSC's "''Worcester & Somerset plants''". Worcester presumably refers to Worcestershire, ie Foley Park; the reason for the reference to Somerset is unclear.</ref>
The factory later employed two diesel shunters<ref name=miac/>:
