And it seems Lady (like Gordon) is a experimental tank engine.Β
Seems the engine (there was only one) itself worked from 1901 to 1911Β

So Lady is most likely a twin, like how most of Skarloey locos are.Β

The engine was built there in 1901. So Lady likely would of been built the same yearΒ

Well, Lady actually remained in service until 1947 (The year the MSR closed).

I see, as "final years" I meant as in the final years of the W&S Railway before it was formed into NWR.Β
