P C Allen is a type: 0-4-0WT (well tank). Originally manufactured in 1912

Manufactured by Orenstein & Koppel, Berlin, Germany (Works No. 5834).

A typical O&K standard 20hp design, “P C Allen” was built for the internal railway system at the chemical works of Solvay & Cie, Torrelavega, Spain, and imported to England in 1963.

It is named after the late industrialist Sir Peter Allen, who arranged its rescue, and subsequently donated it to the Leighton Buzzard Railway.

At its last overhaul, it was returned to the unusual black/green livery it sported when it first arrived.

Now out of service awaiting overhaul. Please help us to bring this historic locomotive back to life
