After the four Small England locomotives were built in 1863-64, further developments of the design lead to the Large England in 1867, an improved design with a larger boiler and a saddle tank for greater water capacity. Two locomotives were built – named “Welsh Pony” and “Little Giant”. “Welsh Pony” is in service today although sadly “Little Giant” was scrapped in 1879.
