Manufacturer description

Peckett Works No. 614/1896 is the oldest surviving Peckett Locomotive in the UK and now resides at the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway. Delivered new in 1896 to James Dunlop and Co. Ltd at the Clyde Ironworks, the locomotive was named No. 2 Bear and worked at Rutherglen until 1930 when Dunlop became part of the Colvilles Group.

In 1941 Bear required heavy repairs and was sent to Andrew Barclay and Co's Works at Kilmarnock.
