Photographed in July 2017 whilst on display at the Middleton Railway. Subsequently the loco moved to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

'Lucie' stands on display at Locomotion, Shildon on 24th May 2025. Here we are looking at the footplate. Notice the vertical boiler with the reverser on the left and single water glass on the right. The cylinders are at this end.

Is this the front or the back? On a tramway engine, does it matter?
