Having undergone cosmetic restoration which has now been completed, the Isle of Man Railway’s Beyer Peacock & Co. built 2-4-0T No. 6 "Peveril" is going on public display along side her sister No. 5 "Mona".

The Isle of Man was always 2-4-0T country, with very rare exceptions. The Isle of Man Railway favoured Beyer Peacock's locos. Several series of these exist, from the pioneer locos right up to the last IoMR loco, 'Mannin'. No 6, 'Peveril' is one of the Victorian batch of 1874 and is shown here in the shed at Douglas. The Beyer Peacock characteristics are all there - the outside framed bogie, the lack of a bunker behind the cab and the angled cylinders. Like most of them, 'Peveril' has its number in brass numerals on the chimney.
