This 0-4-0ST locomotive was built as Works No 1738 of 1928 by Peckett and Sons of Bristol. In July of that year it was delivered to Hams Hall Power Station at Coleshill, near Birmingham, where it was given the number 4 and used for shunting coal wagons.
1738 was declared surplus to requirements by the CEGB early in 1968 and was purchased by SVR member Mr J McNally, arriving at [[Bridgnorth]] by road in on 13 July of that year. It was steamed shortly after arrival, and used on shunting duties for the rest of the year, also giving footplate rides during the August 1968 Gala.
A lengthy overhaul then followed, with the locomotive returning to traffic in September 1984. However the locomotive saw little use thereafter, and eventually left the SVR circa November 1995, moving to the South Devon Railway.
