Commemorative plaque

What is recorded here

This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: Cadbury No 14 The 20 ton diesel locomotive began its working life in 1957 at the Cadbury factory in Moreton. It was designed to look like the rest of the Cadbury fleet, many of which were steam trains. Its job was to move products, packaging and finished goods around the factory. When in working condition its top speed was 14mph and it could haul 200 tons! In 1978 the train was temporarily relocated to the Llangollen Railway Society, then returned to Moreton before arriving at Bournville in February 2007. Cadbury No 14 was donated to Cadbury by Burton's Foods who now operate from Moreton. Recorded plaque organisation: Cadbury World.
Cadbury No 14 is a 20-ton diesel locomotive that served the Cadbury factory in Moreton since 1957, designed to mimic the appearance of the factory’s steam train fleet and used for transporting goods within the facility. Its significance lies in representing the industrial heritage and logistics methods employed by one of Britain's most iconic confectionery companies.
