This locomotive is currently 18 inch gauge, and will require regauging to 15 inch gauge before it can run at Cleethorpes, a large amount of other work will also be required before this locomotive can enter service. She was built in 1951 by Curwens for use on the New Brighton Railway, however she was always the lesser favored loco there. She then moved on the the Bromyard and Linton Railway where she was assessed for regaguing to 2ft. This proved to be a costly and unpractical option and so it was decided not to carry out the work. She was then sold on to the Selway Trust. The Selway Trust moved the locomotive to Cleethorpes in 2005, and she is currently stored at the back of the workshop.
