Elouise:
Built in 1922 by Orenstein and Koppel of Berlin. Works No. 9998. Supplied new to the Portuguese forestry commission via an O&K agent in Madrid, Spain. (Hence the works plates say Madrid even though she was built in Berlin.)
Little is known about her life in Portugal other than she ended up outside a cafe in Cascais as a tourist attraction.
In 1969/70 she was brought over to Britain where, after several changes of ownership, she ended up on the Old Kiln Light Railway in 1986. After restoration work she soon entered traffic, but was subsequently withdrawn with boiler problems.
Elouise is now back in traffic and is used some summer Sundays and special events Check front page for listed running days.
