11509 in service
The locomotive was built by Ruston and Hornsby of Lincoln as Works No 408297 of 1957. It was delivered new to the Patent Shaft Steelworks at Wednesbury in January 1957[1].
11509 in preservation
The locomotive was one of four acquired from Patent Shaft during 1980, arriving on 28 October in that year.[1] It was initially given the name ‘William’ and was intended, after restoration, to replace Red Ruston 319290 as the P.Way Department's engine,[2] but was ultimately cannibalised for spare parts around 1984[3].
