From 'SteamIndex' (British Locomotives) .....

Evans, Richard & Co. Haydock Colliery Lowe notes that six 0-6-0WTs were designed by Josiah Evans and constructed at Haydock between 1869 and 1887. They had piston valves actuated by outside valve gear: fisrt two Stephenson open links and remainder with Gooch box links. No. C Bellerophon illustrated. No. F Golbourne described and ilustrated in Loco. Mag., 1901 December

Of the six engines designed by Josiah Evans 'and built by Richard Evans and Co. at Haydock Foundary, in Haydock, Lancashire', only two remain. 'Haydock' as described here, and 'Bellerophon',(Foxfield Railway).

Movement of locomotives to other locations
I've made an initial edit, citing "Steam Railway" magazine, regarding the planned move of most of these locos away from Penryhn Castle. At the time of writing, I believe only "Fire Queen" has so far moved, so I haven't updated the others as they are all planned moves. This page will ideally need some more updating as the various moves take place - if I read correctly, it might only leave 1 loco at this location. Mwsmith20 (talk) 13:48, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
