Manning Wardle Background Links

The London And North Eastern Railway (LNER) Encyclopaedia: http://www.lner.info/index.shtml - The LNER ended up with quite a number of Manning Wardle locomotives on their network.

The London Brighton And South Coast Railway (LBSCR): http://www.lbscr.demon.co.uk/locos/../index.html and in particular: http://www.lbscr.demon.co.uk/locos/Manning-Wardle.html - The LBSCR used a few Manning Wardle built locomotives, although after William Stroudley was appointed CME in 1871, as part of Stroudley’s programme of standardising the fleet, the company largely built its own locomotives.

The Purbeck And Mineral Mining Museum: http://www.pmmmg.org/ and in particular The Furzebrook Tramway: http://www.pmmmg.org/Pikes.htm - One of the this 2ft. 8in.tramway's locomotives, 0-6-0ST "Tertius" (999 of 1886) was an extended version of an earlier 2ft. 6in gauge 0-4-0ST

(497 of 1874) built for use in Chile, even using the same cylinder dimensions. Despite the gauge of the Furzebrook system, its locomotive policy was generally similar to 2ft. 6in. in gauge practice; and also the Fayles Tramway: http://www.pmmmg.org/Fayes.htm - one of that tramway’s locomotives was also built by Manning Wardle.
