1361 Class 0-6-0ST GWR small steam locomotive

The 1361 Class were small 0-6-0ST steam locomotives built in 1910 by the Great Western Railway at their Swindon railway works, England, mainly for shunting in docks and other sidings where track curvature was too tight for large locomotives. The base for 1361 was Plymouth Millbay, Devon, (later Laira shed).

For the little ones under us a wee note as found on Wikipedia:
In Thomas and Friends a locomotive named Percy is partly based on the 1361!
