A NAMEPLATE "DOT" with its matching WORKSPLATE "WG Bagnall Ltd Engineers No. 2214 Stafford, England" and BOILER-PLATE "WG Bagnall Ltd.....Makers No. 2214". This fine set was carried by a 3'0" gauge 0-4-0ST with outside cylinders that emerged from Works in May 1923 going new to Charles Abell Ltd., Hartshill Granite Quarry, Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Here it joined "KITTY" a similar Bagnall loco No 2085 which had been acquired second hand around 1919. The steam locos were used in the upper part of the quarry and also in the quarry yard, with horse traction elsewhere. In 1951 the company amalgamated with Mancetter Granite Quarries Ltd., to form Man-Abell Quarries Ltd. In April 1956 a Ruston Hornsby diesel locomotive was transferred from Mancetter Quarries to Hartshill and KITTY & DOT saw little use after this. DOT was finally scrapped on site in March 1958. The nameplate is rectangular cast brass, 12"x4 1/4", the worksplate oval cast brass 6 1/4"x4" (both face-polished and repainted only); the boiler-plate oval cast brass 4 1/2"x2 3/4" in ex-loco condition.
