British Locomotive of about 7 905 



In the national collection is an operable model (figure 71) 

 of a British locomotive of the period of about 1905. Made by 

 the well known English model makers Carson and Co., and 

 given in 1933 to the Museum by Frank A. Wardlaw and 

 Frank A. Wardlaw, Jr., the model (USNM 310584) repre- 

 sents the Caledonian Railway Co. Mo. 903, a 4-G-O with 

 inside cylinders. The length of the locomotive and the 

 6-wheeled tender is 45 inches and the gauge is 3^A inches. 

 A locomotive of similar appearance, though not necessarily 

 identical, is described and illustrated in the British technical 

 journal "Engineering" for August 31, 1906 (p. 299). 



The elder Wardlaw stated that the model was built by 

 Carson for Sir Henry Lopes, and that he acquired it from 

 Carson when Sir Henry turned it in on a new one. Wardlaw
