LBSCR A1 / A1x class 0-6-0T - Waddon
| Built in December 1875, Waddon was bought by the SECR in
September 1904 as Nº751, later becoming a shunter at Lancing, SR
Nº680S. It was preserved and shipped to the Delson Museum, near Montreal
in Canada, in June 1962.
In recent years, stories have been circulating telling of the locomotive being in a sorry, uncared for state. Whether true or not, this is now not the case, as these pictures taken on 8th July 2005 show. |
| A long way from home, Waddon stands outside at the
Canadian Railway Museum.

Looking into the tiny cab from the driver's side, the most
obvious control visible being the reverser, which partially blocks the entrance!

| On the opposite cabside is the Westinghouse brake pump. It seem
almost unimaginable that a locomotive built as long ago as Waddon would have
air brakes.

The fireman doesn't have an obstruction in the doorway to
contend with. This view shows more detail of the pole type reverser, and also
the backhead, where the gauge glasses are without their protective covers.
