0-4-0T Rishra (works number 2007) was built in 1921 by Baguley Cars Ltd. It was repatriated from its Indian resting place at a water works in Kolkata (Calcutta) by Michael Satow, the founder of the Indian National Rail Museum in New Delhi.
It is normally based at the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway. She is the only surviving Baguley steam loco, and one of only 31 built; the works number sequence for steam locos started at 2000.
She is one of only two preserved locomotives fitted with Baguley valve gear, similar to the Bagnall-Price gear which was adopted by Bagnall after Ernest E. Baguley left that firm.
