early condition

 

Original bought for building of the SelseyTramway, but instead of selling it obce the line was built, it stayed on and was the first loco to pull a passenger train, as no other loco was available.

It had been originally an 0-6-0ST, but by removing rods to rear wheels became an o-4-2ST,and then to improve runing, had a radial axle with 2ft diameter wheels fitted.

Some small changes were made over the years and was scrapped in 1913.

 

 

 

Requires finishing off, wheels etc
