Edward (RWS 1)
A 4-4-0 of uncertain ancestry. He was borrowed in 1915 from the ####### Railway, but has since been so much rebuilt at Crovan’s Gate as to obscure his origins. It is generally thought that he began life on the ####### as one of their Sharp Stewart ”Larger Seagulls” of 1896. The ####### had found him to be a ”shy steamer”, and were not interested in getting him back. They sold him to the NWR for a nominal sum. The NWR however have (by careful maintenance) turned him into a reliable engine.
