Sir Berkeley is a standard Manning-Wardle class L 0-6-0ST and almost identical to the Railway's own locomotive Matthew Murray with the exception that Sir Berkeley was built with only a weather board rather than a full cab. The loco exhibits all the hallmarks of a late Victorian locomotive.

The locomotive, which is owned by the Vintage Carriages Trust at Ingrow, Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, appeared in the 1968 BBC TV version of "The Railway Children" with Jenny Agutter and Gordon Gostelow.

It was withdrawn from service in 2001 following the expiry of its 10 year boiler 'ticket'.  Then, in May 2004, the Vintage Carriages Trust was awarded a grant of £50,000 towards the restoration of the locomotive by the Heritage Lottery Fund.  For more information about that, please see the press release that was issued at the time.

Please look at Sir Berkeley's restoration diary  to see the progress that has taken place towards rebuilding the locomotive.
