Full Description: Built in 1863, our flagship locomotive has been restored to its original condition in a £140,000 project. Discover the engine's amazing story, unravel the riddle of its true identity, see the picture gallery, and read the book!

As a working museum piece, it is not appropriate to use Furness Railway Number 20 on general service trains on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, because of the severity of the gradients, the weight of the trains and the intensity of the timetable.
