Potted history: Delivered from
the Wickham factory in Ware, Hertfordshire between 15th and 22nd May 1953 to Exeter St
David's our Wickham is a Number 27 Mk lll. Wickham 6646 was allocated the British Railways
running number B6W. It never wandered far but made it up the bank to the Southern Region
at Exeter Central. Renumbered as PWM 3767 it was eventually withdrawn in February 1972.
It somehow made its way to Prossers scrapyard in Worcester where it was spotted by
a WLS member. It was purchased intact and delivered to Hereford where it was
re-railed on 3rd March 1972. With a new battery, silencer and some cosmetic
paintwork repairs it was reported as fully restored by summer 1974 |
