Posted by: Steve Frost on Jun 1, 2019 @ 12:06:33
Built for Dundee gasworks in 1901 as a two foot gauge 0-4-0 well tank design. The loco worked there until 1959 when it moved to Caledon shipbuilding, still in Dundee. It was preserved by the late Ian Fraser, who relocated it to the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in 1976. There it was substantially rebuilt as a 15 inch gauge 0-4-2 side tank loco. It was rebuilt again in 1996 producing the tender loco of today.
