DIXIE is a 5" narrow gauge saddle tank loco- motive with open cab and footplate mounted coal bunkers and is based on the Kerr Stuart “Wren” class. These popular, diminutive but powerful locomotives were used widely in industry and because of this several survive today in preservation, including the well known and much travelled “PETER PAN”, the equally well known “PIXIE” and “LORNA DOONE”, a much worked engine, saved from the scrapmans torch and now, thankfully, safely in preservation.

G Bagnall Ltd commenced trading as a locomotive works in the year 1887. Noted for their enormous diversity of fin- ished products, it wasn’t until 1891 when Ernest Baguley Wwas engaged as works manager that a production system was intro- duced. Baguley designed a standard range of locomotive types which characterised Bagnall from that time forward. These locomotives were the familiar narrow gauge saddle tanks so popular with small con- tractors and the type that Sapphire is based upon. Sapphire features a “round top” saddle tank, brass filler, full cab and bunkers with cir- cular brass window frames, handrails and cab mounted whistle. Slip eccentric valve gear is fitted as standard with optional Hackworth or Walschaerts valve gear. Other options available (see pricelist) are iron spoked wheels, brass top chimney, screw down brake, mechan- SWALLOW ical lubricator, injector and Tender.

SWALLOW is a standard gauge 0-4-0 shunter based on the locomotive supplied to Messrs Cadbury Bros of Bournville in 1959. This engine joined four Avonside built locos of similar design, but of a much earlier date, they were introduced between 1910/20.All these locomotives were painted in the distinctive Cadbury livery of Bright red, lined out in Yellow & Black and with the Cadbury Bournville lettering along the tank sides, in Gold leaf , edged in Crimson. These hand- some engines worked the extensive rail system at Bournville for many years and there is at least one survivor in preservation. Around this time, Hunslet built and supplied a number of similar locomotives for use in industry and as such, are typical of the last British industrial steam locomotives on the standard gauge.
