Although larger than many of the other FW locomotives of the day, this exposition display seems to have represented the line of industrial tank engines quite well.
About a year after the Exhibition, the Railway News of 15 November 1879 (Volume XXXII, No 827) carried the announcement "To Engineers, Capitalists, and Others - For Sale by Private Contract" that the lease, plant, and business of the late firm of Fox, Walker, and Company were available. "To any Capitalist," said the offer", this is a favourable opportunity for embarking in a good established business." Peckett and Sons must have agreed as they acquired the facilities in 1880.
