7 1/4 inch gauge GER Class T19 "Petrolea"
Owner, Keith Briault
This
7 1/4 inch gauge locomotive is a model of a Great Eastern Railways
Class T19 named Petrolea because it was the first of its class to be
converted to oil firing as a result of a coal shortage. The
experiment was probably not a success as the locomotive reverted to
coal firing when coal became more freely available.
