Secundus is on display in the Corfe Castle Goods Shed Museum.

Secundus has been made available by Birmingham Museum under an initial 5 year loan agreement.

Built by the little known company of Bellis & Seekings Ltd in Birmingham in 1874, Secundus was the second steam locomotive to work on the 2ft 8in gauge Furzebrook Tramway, which connected the pits and mines around Creech to Furzebrook Works and a wharf at Ridge. Repaired and rebuilt by Stephen Lewin at Poole Foundry in 1880, and reboilered by Peckett & Sons of Bristol in 1936, Secundus worked until 1955 when most of the line was replaced by road transport.
