F&PM 2-6-0 "Mogul" Type Locomotives

Class 101 (Locobase 2614)

Data from 1899 Brooks Catalogue.

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 #3090-3094.

This is a hefty Mogul fitted with an Improved Belpaire boiler, firebox with 21 sq ft of arch pipes, and a tender of considerable capacity. Clearly, this engine wasn't meant to stay near the shops.

Within two years of this class's delivery, the Flint & Pere Marquette became the better-known Pere Marquette. At that time, the class was renumbered 210-214 and in 1902 they were renumbered once again as 223-227. 226 was scrapped in December 1929, 224-5, and 227 were broken up in 1934 (March, February, and February, respectively) and 223 lasted until January 1937.
