Description: “The locomotive was built entirely at the Addington Workshops, and is the largest ever constructed south of the line. It measures sixty feet from end to end, and weighs 72 tons in working trim. The driving wheels are 4ft 6in in diameter, and it has two high pressure cylinders. The engine is built on the De Glehng system, and its tractive power is 19,000 pounds. It has been so placed that it can be thoroughly inspected by visitors.
