Comments on: London Brighton & South Coast Railway 0-6-0T “Terrier” No. 54-Waddon at Exporail Museum, Montreal. What a little gem to find at the museum and so dwarfed by its Canadian cousins.

This loco never saw service in Canada. It was acquired by Exporail in 1963 and has been cosmetically restored by a group of enthusiasts of “British extraction”! 9 other A1X’s exist in the U.K. 6 in operating condition.

Got one of the wooden train sets at age 3 and have loved trains ever since

Not me – couldn’t stand Thomas. Wasn’t a ‘real train’ to me

I, along with probably many other railfanners found interest in these engines, probably because dating back to the childhood, that Stepeny was featured on Thomas the tank engine

I’m curious if it ever saw service in Canada.. when one considers our early railway steam engines were probably based on British designs…

It’s a shame so few, if any were preserved from the 1830′s to the 1860′s… so rare to find ANYTHING of that age still in existence.
