L&Y Pug 1097/1910 ‘No. 19′ Vintage Steam Train, a small 0-4-0ST steam locomotive built by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway for shunting duties at the Oct 2022 Autumn Steam Gala,
Working in busy dock and harbour environments necessitated small locomotives with short wheelbases, and at the turn of the last Century, the Lancashire & Yorkshire railway at Horwich designed and built a class of locomotives affectionately known as ‘Pugs’, specifically designed to work in the dockland areas of Goole, Fleetwood, Liverpool & Salford. is one of several Pugs sold by the LMS in the 1930’s. Purchased by contractors John Mowlem in 1931 and named ‘Basset’. It was used on a contract to extend the Southampton docks, and was then re-sold to the United Glass Bottle Manufacturers in 1935, where it was renamed ‘Prince’. During it’s time working here, it worked alongside fellow RSR resident, Borrows Well Tank “The King”. Of the many constructed, only two remain, both in the custody of the L & Y Trust. Whilst sister engine ‘′ (51218) has been frequently seen on various photographic exhibitions around the country, has been cosmetically overhauled for display in our museum building at Riversway. Former owners Mowlem organised a feasibility study in the mid 1990’s, but the costs associated with bringing back to live steam are too excessive.
