Bagnall fireless locomotives (preserved)
Six Bagnall fireless locomotives have been preserved in Great Britain. This is a surprisingly large number since W. G. Bagnall of Stafford, England, built only 14 fireless locomotives in total.
Brief histories of the preserved locomotives are given in this article and they are listed by works number. All are standard gauge 0-4-0s except where otherwise stated.
==2216==
This unusual gauge 2-4-0, named "Unique", is the first fireless locomotive built by Bagnall. It was ordered by Edward Lloyd Ltd in February 1923 and delivered to their paper mills at Sittingbourne, Kent in February 1924.
During its operational life, the steam reservoir was charged to from a charging plant at Kemsley, and a pressure reducing valve admitted steam to the cylinders at . It was capable of working for 8 hours on one charge, although was rarely used for more than 4 hours at a time. It remained the most powerful engine on the site until the 0-4-4-0T ''Monarch'' was delivered in 1953. It continued in use until the closure of the former Lloyd's system, and was acquired by the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway. It is now preserved, but has not worked in preservation, as there is no longer a source of high-pressure steam available to charge it.
