Selsey Tramway/West Sussex Railway

 

 

2-4-2T Selsey loco

 

 

early condition

 

 

Bought new for opening of the line, but did not quite arrive in time for first train. Built by Peckett and Sons, Bristol, to Colonel Stephen's specification, using mainly standard parts. Thought to be intended as prototype for a new class, but remained only one built.

Over the years it was rebuilt and modified, the most obvious change being moving of water tanks backwards into the cab, to redistribute weight better.

Withdrawn from service finally in 1934, and scrapped in 1936.

 

 

Requires finishing off, wheels etc

 

 

Scale OO (1/76 4mm/ft)
