Baguley 774

[3] In 1923, the locomotive was purchased by Baguley who refurbished it and displayed it on their stand at the Commercial Motor Show in London and between 1924 and 1925 at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Park.

[2] In December 1926, light railway dealer J.C. Oliver & Co. of Leeds sold two Baguley locomotives to Oakeley slate quarry in Blaenau Ffestiniog; these were works numbers 708 and 779 - the latter being another example of the 20hp class which had been acquired from the Kerry Tramway.

[4] In 1965, railway enthusiast Rodney Weaver purchased the locomotive from the quarry company and 774 was moved down to a lower mill for storage.

In June 1968, it was moved to the Wychwood Railway, a private narrow gauge line near Leamington Spa, although it did not run there.

A 20 imperial gallons (91 L) petrol tank sits directly above the 4 cylinder 4,120 cubic centimetres (251 cu in) engine.

The engine drives through a pair of cone clutches giving forward and reverse gears with high and low ratios.
