Data from "Locomotives of the Great Eastern Railway," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol XVII (15 April 1911), p. 75. Hudswell work number was 184.
The two seaside towns in the railways name lay 5 miles (8 km) apart on the North Essex coast of England. It opened on 17 April 1866 and had been served by the Great Eastern. The W&B's management decided to strike out on their own in 1876 and purchased this little saddle tank as their motive power. Three years later, having struck out in the American baseball sense, the W&B returned to the GER's fold.
Compared to the rest of the power on the GER, this mite was "suitable for only the very lightest of work", says the LM report. So it was withdrawn from service in March 1888 and its machinery used as a stationary engine.
