Fossick & Hackworth

Fossick & Hackworth built several locomotives. The Llanelly Railway took delivery of Victor, a 0-6-0 long boilered tender engine in 1864 (Wks No 176).[1] This was subsequently sold to the Carmarthen & Cardigan Railway (C&CR) in December 1872. The C&CR amalgamated with the Great Western Railway on 1 July 1881, but Victor was not taken into GWR stock. It was moved to Swindon, and not scrapped until September 1889.[2]
