This is "Mountaineer" built by Alco in 1916 for service behind the front line. Has been out of boiler ticket for some time, and needs some other work before a return to traffic.

Mountaineer (II) was the third large tank locomotive to be used by the FR on regular passenger services, that was not built for the FR. It was one of 100 locomotives built by the Cooke works of the American Locomotive Company (Alco) in 1916 (works number 57156) for the British War Department Light Railways (WDLR). These railways transported munitions and other supplies behind the trenches during The Great War. Mountaineer's WDLR number was 1265.
Came to FfR via London Group of the FR Society in 1967 and rebuilt several times, including a new boiler in 1983. Currently in an oil-fired configuration, she will need to be de-converted. Hopefully, she will return at some point, when funds and workshop time permit.
