No.4 Doll at Page's Park on the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway
Doll was built by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. in 1919 and was one of three identical engines built for Hickmanas at Sydenham ironstone quarries, near Banbury in Oxfordshire. The quarries were closed in 1925 following the takeover by Stewarts & Lloyds Minerals in April 1925, and the three engines (named after Hickmans daughters) were transferred to Bilston steelworks, near Wolverhampton. Doll worked at Bilston until withdrawal from service in 1959.
In 1960 Doll was moved to the Burton Green & District Light Railway near Kenilworth in Warwickshire, where she was returned to steam in 1962. In 1966, Doll was sold to Alan Bloom of Bressingham, The locomotive was sold to Henry Williams who in turn sold her to the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway in 1969!
