This 0-6-0T is a Hudwell Clake tank engine number 1800 which had a very quite life at the British Sugar Corporation's Peterborough beet factory, which was along side the railway line that is now The Nene Valley Railway.  There are houses on the site of the old Peterborough beet factory now.

When this 0-6-0T Hudwell Clake tank moved to the Nene Valley some one put a name on it and the rest is history, as the say. What was the name, of course its 'Thomas,
