"The company went steam powered from 1814, initially with a series of 0-6-0T locomotives.". I've got doubts about 0-6-0T engines in 1814. According to Tank locomotive, the Novelty of 1829 was the first tank engine, and despite the number of wheels Puffing Billy had at first, 0-6-0s came in with the Royal George of 1825 - and that wasn't a tank engine. Could be a typo in the 1814 date? Peridon (talk) 13:09, 23 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
