Locomotive History
Built by Kerr Stuart in 1900 as a 2 foot gauge 0-4-0WT for Dundee gasworks, the engine was bought by Ian Fraser around 1960 and donated to the railway in 1976. After a rebuild, it emerged as a 0-4-2T in 1982, with the side tanks from 'Ella', and was used on winter and other lighter trains. 1996 saw the locomotive rebuilt again with a new boiler and reversed Southern valve gear replacing the original inside Stephenson's valve gear and converted to a tender engine. The engine is painted in the Bronze Green livery of the North British Railway and is currently (May 2015) out of service requiring significant boiler repairs.
