Haydock Foundry 'Bellerophon'

Bellerophon is an 0-6-0WT steam locomotive it was built in Haydock Foundry in 1874 for the Haydock Foundry, and designed by Josiah Evans. The engine is unusual in having a well-tank, so called because the water is carried in between the frames-under the boiler.
== History ==
In 1981 the engine was sold for a nominal sum to the Vintage Carriages Trust at Ingrow and it was through them being registered as a charity that funding was found for the engine to be overhauled and returned to steam.
The locomotive is currently preserved by the Vintage Carriages Trust for public display.
== In fiction ==
