Douglas

From 1921 until 1945, he worked at the RAF railway at Calshot Spit, Southampton. After a period in store at Calshot, he was bought in 1949 by Abelson and Co. Ltd. who presented him to the Talyllyn in 1953. After overhaul and alteration from 2ft to 2ft 3in gauge, he entered service in 1954 and was named "Douglas" at the donor's request. Although smaller than the other locos he has performed well and was returned to service in 1995, having been fitted with a new boiler, turned out in his old Air Ministry Works and Buildings livery. Douglas is currently painted RAF Blue with the RAF roundel painted on the sides of his boiler. In his appearance in the Railway Series, he was painted in the Talyllyn Railway's Bronze Green livery with black and yellow lining.
