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 #2475 in October 1894.(Locobase thinks it's likely that works #3639, delivered six years later in October 1900 as road #4, was a repeat of #3.)
Respectably endowed Mogul for a narrow-gauge line in Upper Michigan. According to Kevin Musser on his website http://www.portup.com/copperrange/qtl.htm:
"The year 1892 also saw the increase of the Q&TL fleet. 20 additional rock cars were ordered from Wells-French, as well as a third locomotive. #3 was also a 2-6-0 Brooks although larger, having 44 inch drivers, 17"x 22" cylinders and weighting 45 tons. #1 and #2 were purchased for $7,800, #3 weighed in at just under $9,000 with its dandy snow plow."
