Gazelle at Longmoor Camp

Gazelle has been claimed to be the smallest standard gauge steam locomotive ever built.
Originally built in 1893 as a 2-2-2WT (well tank), it was converted to 0-4-2WT in 1911 by Colonel Stephens for use on the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway. The S&MR was taken over by the War Department in 1941 but abandoned a few years later.
Gazelle was transferred to Longmoor and displayed outside the camp. See Link

.
After closure of the Longmoor Military Railway, Gazelle was transferred to the National Railway Museum. See SE5951 : 'Gazelle' at the National Railway Museum.
Gazelle is currently at the Colonel Stephens Railway Museum at Tenterden. See Link
