Thompson LNER Class A2

'Robin Hood' was built by David Curwen Ltd in 1947. It was Curwen's second big Pacific and built speculatively, but it went to straight to the Weymouth Miniature Railway where Curwen's sister company Baydon Miniature Railways was constructing a new line. It worked this busy line alone for a few years, but had an easier life after a pair of Atlantics arrived in the early 1950s. After the line closed in 1971 it was sold to Jack Doyle who only really wanted one of the Weymouth Atlantics, No.2005, 'Black Prince' for a portable fairground line.
