Hornby R3847 SR Terrier 0-6-0T W14 Bembridge

Hornby R3847 SR Terrier 0-6-0T W14 Bembridge.

Entering service with the LB&SCR as No. 78 Knowle, the locomotive was moved into storage by the Southern Railway in September 1935, but when the Isle of Wight Railway found itself with a shortage of light engines, Knowle was overhauled, fitted with an extended bunker and shipped to the island in May 1929, taking the number W4 and the name Bembridge. Push-pull equipment was fitted and the Terrier worked the lighter lines out of Newport, being renumbered as W14 in April 1932. The opening of a bigger 26ft turntable at Bembridge in 1936 allowed heavier 4-4-2T O2 locomotives to work the smaller lines and W14 Bembridge became surplus to requirements, being returned to the mainland in May that year.

The Terriers were designed by William Stroudley and entered service in 1880.

This model is 105mm (length) and is decorated in the Southern Railways Olive Green livery.
