History
Entering service in March 1878, this âTerrierâ was chosen by its designer, William Stroudley, to represent the LB&SCR at the Paris Exhibition in 1878. It was purchased by the Isle of Wight Central Railway, where it entered service in 1902 as its No. 11, before a rebuild to âA1Xâ in August 1918. Passing back into SR ownership at the 1923 Grouping, it was given the name âNewportâ in 1930, which it kept until going to Eastleigh for overhaul in 1947.Â
After briefly becoming 2640, it was withdrawn as BR 32640 in 1963. It then went on display at Butlinâs Pen-y-Chain holiday camp, near Pwllheli until 1973, whereupon it went back to the Isle of Wight and returned to steam at Havenstreet in 2014. The Hornby model is presented in original Stroudley âimproved engine greenâ, which is actually a yellow ochre.
