169 Cast brass Locomotive Crest of the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment as carried by a Longmoor Military Railway 0-6-2 Tank built by Kitsons of Leeds in 1886 (Works No. 2977) for the Taff Vale Rly. Their No. 168 becoming GWR No. 579. Withdrawn by the GWR in Oct. 1926 the loco went to Longmoor in March 1927 and was named “Kitchener”.

The loco was scrapped at Longmoor in the 1940’s. The crest is 8.75in dia. and is stamped in the back “LMR Wellington” and “R” for right hand side. It is mounted onto a painted wooden board with a replica cast brass “Wellington” nameplate in the correct style 31in. long. A nicely presented pair.
