5928 is just under twenty feet long and weighs over two tonns. She was built for Brian Hollingsworth in the early 1970's after his death ran at Western Park after a rebuild in the mid 1990s. She is currently on tour, but is based at the Echolls Wood Railway and when back there normally operates once a month
