Beckton No. 1

I had a look a the Preston Services website today and noticed that the Neilson 0-4-0T Beckton No. 1 is for sale:

I'm pretty sure this engine used to be at Bressingham (though I stand to be corrected). Is this another sale to fund the restoration of Royal Scot? In any case, I hope she finds a good home...

I'm pretty sure it was at Bressingham- confirmed by the unique to Bressingham big sticker on the side of it saying 'May contain asbestos'. Said sticker was soon removed when we had William Francis last year at MOSI!

I've found this very early shot of her at Bressingham:
