| Further information: |
| Supplied new to A. Dawson of Rushmere St. Andrew as a Road Locomotive with neither canopy or belly tanks. It was soon returned to Garretts and these were fitted. The engine then moved to W. Swallow of Gloucestershire before passing to T. Walker of Tewkesbury in 1912. It was converted to a Showmans type and sold to Sheppards Amusements. Rescued for preservation in 1956 and purchased by C. Saunders & B. Whatley in 1991, who totally restored the engine over a seven year period. |
