A Mighty Locomotive  American Class 160 works the Paignton & Dartmouth
Roger Winnen

5197 Was built at the Lima Locomotive Works at Ohio in June 1945. The United States Transportation Corps designed these engines for use in Europe during World War 2. A total of 2120 were built by various companies in America, the total weight being 135 tons. In 1946 this engine was exported to China.
The restoration work on this engine was carried out by The Churnet Valley Railway. It is understood that this engine will remain at The Paignton & Dartmouth until May 2018.
Many thanks to David Tozer for advising me of its visit to the P & D
