This loco was the third to be named Portishead and not to be confused with the other No 2 Portishead! It was one of the Brighton Terriers, (as was No 4), formerly No 43 Gipsyhill on the LBSCR. It was bought from the Southern Railway, and was used until closure of the line. After closure, it was painted in GWR livery and renumbered No 5, while retaining it’s name. It was used on the Bristol Harbour lines, and elsewhere, being used by British Railways until 1950. A new Hornby 00 gauge model of this loco in GWR livery is available. Details ...... An N gauge limited edition model is also coming. Details ......
