The Sierra Leone Government Railways Beyer Garratt that is the motive power for the layout. You can read how Barry built this locomotive from scratch in the SSMRS Gazette. The real loco was one of a class of 13 locomotives built for Sierra Leone in four batches between 1926 and 1943. They were small but powerful engines with a 5 ton axle-load. SLGR number 62 was the last of the class built for Sierra Leone in 1943. Two more were built for Nepal. | |
