The Accident at Royston 1866; what was the loco?

Post by Tanya »

Does anyone have more of an idea than I as to the identity of the loco involved in the accident at Royston, 1866?

Having looked through Bird I am inclined to think it was one of the "small Sharps" converted to a passenger tank, but am willing to stand corrected.

The report summary for Royston 1866 is available in the same archive but terse in the extreme, not a hint to the loco identity, or much else for that matter.
