Rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the form of this authentic NCB Bowhill Colliery locomotive.
The No. 2 from the Bowhill Colliery Company's fleet, this locomotive is a remarkable example of early British railway engineering. Constructed by William Stroudley and built around 1863-64, it represents one of the earliest forms of steam-powered locomotives on the UK network.
This No. 2 features a classic design with its two-cylinder engine, driving two wheels. It is a testament to the pioneering work of the engineers and craftsmen who built these machines, which played a crucial role in shaping the British railway system during the mid-19th century.
Today, this locomotive remains largely intact, serving as a valuable reminder of the industrial heritage of Scotland. Its authenticity, coupled with its rarity and historical significance, make it an extraordinary collectible for railway enthusiasts and historians alike.
