Taw was the name of a Manning Wardle 2-6-2T locomotive which was built in 1898 for Lynton and Barnstaple Railway. ''Taw'' was scrapped in 1935 ''Taw'', like all the locomotives on the L&B, was named after the River Taw, a local river with a three-letter name. The tradition of naming L&B steam locos after local rivers continues into the 21st Century, with ''Lyd'', a replica of ''Lew'' (the fourth locomotive built to this basic design), operational on the Ffestiniog railway and the Welsh Highland Railway A 7.25 inch gauge version of ''Taw'' was built by J. Horsfield in 1999 and runs on the Eastleigh Lakeside Railway. Closer to the L&B, the railway's trust currently owns one steam locomotive - renamed ''Axe'' - which, although it did not serve on the historic L&B, has been restored for use on the new line, currently based at Woody Bay. de:L&B – Yeo, Exe, Taw und Lew 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taw (locomotive)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
