History:

This outside-framed ‘single’ well tank loco was the second Clevedon and was bought from the Furness Railway where it had been numbered 12A. The Avonside works in Bristol fitted a new cab before delivery to the WC&P. The nameplate was transferred from the first Clevedon, the Walker 0-6-0T. Driving wheel diameter was 5ft 7^1/2 in. This loco was similar to Weston which was also bought from the Furness Railway, but with full width cab and slighty less powerful and lighter.
