Newport & Ryde 2-4-0 Locomotives in Great_Britain


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Cowes (Locobase 10168)

Data from William V Cauchi, "The Locomotive History of the Isle of Wight Central Railway," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol VI (January 1901), p. 3. Works number 116.

The N & R was the other major Isle of Wight Railway established in the 1860s and these tanks were the railway's passenger power. They were named Cowes and Osborne when delivere. Later they were numbered 4-5 by the Isle of Wight Central Railway, which also painted the standard red which must have been set off quite nicely by the copper top on the stack and the brass steam dome.
