caption_attribution_description: English: IoM 2-4-0 T #3 Pender at Douglas
context_page_description: The locomotives of the Isle of Man Railway were provided exclusively by Beyer, Peacock and Company of Manchester, England between 1873 and 1926; other locomotives that appear on this list were inherited as part of the take-over of the Manx Northern Railway and Foxdale Railway in 1905, when the railway also purchased two more locomotives from Beyer, Peacock. All the steam locomotives have or had the 2-4-0 T wheel arrangement, apart from 15 Caledonia which is an 0-6-0 T.
context_section_description: Built for the Manx Northern Railway in 1880, this locomotive was originally numbered 3, becoming 14 upon the merger with the Isle of Man Railway in 1905 but not receiving its number and chimney numeral immediately (the numerals were lost in 1956 when a replacement chimney was fitted).  She was the only locomotive purchased by the Manx Northern to be built by Beyer Peacock & Co., in their Gorton Foundry in Manchester (works number 2028), and was similar in design to No. 7 Tynwald.  Unique among the fleet in still being in almost "original" form, she retained her distinctive Salter safety valves until withdrawal from service in 1963 and after storage she was repainted into an approximation of her original colour scheme and placed on display at St John's station during the 1967 and 1968 seasons, and later at Douglas station.  In 1978 she was sold for private preservation on the island and remains there today, unavailable for public viewing.
