DISCONTINUED

Philadelphia

The newest addition to the Cheddar line of Live Steam Locomotives.

During the first world war the British Government placed an order for 495 2ft gauge 4-6-0-T locomotives. All were
built and delivered between autumn 1916 and spring 1917. The design followed standard American practice. Weight in working order was 14 1/2 tons. Many of these locos were sent to France for use on military duties. Philadelphia was one of these locos. She eventually found her way to Australia were she was converted to a tender loco for use in the sugar cane fields of Queensland. She has now been preserved and is now an oil burner and runs on the Dreamland site in Queensland.
