  • The Tidmouth, Knapford and Elsbridge Railway eventually became part of the North Western Railway, and was constructed with the help of the young Sir Topham Hatt, who also designed four small 0-4-0 tank engines with vertical boilers that were nicknamed "Coffee Pots", named Kenneth, Erica, Jake and Crystal, and numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. These engines were used by the North Western Railway to pull trucks from Anopha Quarry, but were worn out soon after Thomas was given charge of their branchline and withdrawn. They were not very well-documented, and were never even photographed before they were scrapped.
