A steam convoy has made its way across Suffolk for an emotional return to the factory where it was built nearly a century ago.
Charles Baker and Nigel Taylor drove “Agathis”, a Garrett 4CD traction engine from Cornard Mill near Sudbury to Leiston Long Shop, where it was built in 1924, for the museum s big opening weekend.
Agathis burns wood, not coal, and averages 10 pieces to the mile in the fire. The two-day trip used up about two tons of wood and more than 300 gallons of water. Mr Baker bought Agathis with his sister Harriet in 2005 and from 2011 to 2015 it was fully restored.
