Builder info from B.Rumary, 25 Kingscombe, Gurney Slade, Radstock, BA3 4TH, ENGLAND and Jeremy Lambert as supplied by Allen Stanley in March 2004. Works #2663-64, produced in May 1896.
This was the same line as the Buffalo, St.Mary's and SouthWestern to which Brooks sold a Mogul in the next year . Like the 2-6-0, the Consolidations for this railroad had a crown bar, wagon top boiler with steam dome just ahead of the clerestory cab. It offered considerably more heating surface and grate area than the Mogul by adding flues; flue length wsa virtually identical.
Sometime later these became the Pittsburgh, Shawmut & Northern 44 & 45, most likely when the PS & N absorbed several western New York roads in 1899.
