avonside1563 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 They are both Thornhill and Wareham locos, several of the Burton-on-Trent breweries used this builder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Traxson Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The name of the builders is actually Thornewille & Wareham. Pictures of their loco's and more details occur in the book " The Brewery Railways of Burton on Trent" , which book is on my bookshelf, but unfortunately a few miles from me at the moment so I don't have details of the author etc. immediately available. If someone hasn't beaten me to it I will furnish these details sometime to-morrow if it will help. Phil T. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Looking at JW Lowe this builder made about 14 locos of which 4 were later rebuilt by Hunslet into Saddle Tanks. Those dome covers are very reminiscent of EB Wilson locos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
