  Manning Wardle 1841 - Ferrymead Railway
Manning Wardle 1841 was built for the Christchurch Meat Company Ltd, where it worked until 1975 when it was acquired by the Ferrymead Railway.
It was used occasionally on the Railway, and it made an appearance on the Weka Pass Railway in 1984 during their Mayday Fair, working on a shuttle train from the Waipara Yard to the Fairground with PWD 548.
There is another Manning Wardle steam engine preserved in NZ, however it is not part of 1841's batch.

Six locomotives (industrial 0-6-0ST from Manning Wardle) were handed-over to the LNER where they became classes J84 and J85 (beware: this classification was also used for some very ancient NBR locomotives).There were also two 0-6-2Ts, also from Manning Wardle.

 A Proposed Manning Wardle
The accompanying drawing is taken from a Manning Wardle blueprint found amongst hundreds of ironworks plant drawings at the offices of the former Kettering Iron and Coal Co Ltd. Unfortunately those drawings deemed interesting were available on loan only and after copying and return were subsequently destroyed when the site was cleared.
As mentioned there, Manning’s appear to have built but one locomotive of this type specifically for industry (1207 of 1890, THE WELSHMAN) and our subject would perhaps have been the last fresh example of this breed from any builder, the later Consett pannier tanks being a perpetuation.
It seems unlikely that Manning Wardle would draw up such a design with no particular customer in mind and it would be interesting to know just who in 1908 required a large and powerful locomotive with restricted overall height and a short wheelbase.

 Sir Berkeley
This locomotive, MW 1210, was built by Manning Wardle and Company at their Boyne Engine Works in Leeds.

Between 1943 and 1947 it was loaned to the Pilton Quarry in Rutland where a steep incline down to a dead-end siding at the quarry face exposed the limitations of Manning Wardle's handbrake, even though fitted to act on all wheels in accordance with Logan and Hemingway's standard requirements for all their Manning Wardle engines.

He was also fond of contractors locomotives made by Manning Wardle of Leeds that could be picked up cheap to make good light railway locomotives.
This is something of a mystery as otherwise the locomotive does not seem associated with him and never seems to have run on any of his lines.
This feature was extraordinarily rare in any Locomotive and its only known use by Manning Wardle was on Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway No 5 supplied to Colonel Stephen's specification in 1919.

 PERNAMBUCO
Recife was the second city in Brazil, after Rio de Janeiro, to operate steam trams, and may have been the first in the world to operate steam locomotives built specifically to run on the street.
Two locomotives of this design were constructed in 1866 by Manning Wardle and Co. of Leeds for the British-built Brazilian Street Railway, which was known in Recife as the Estrada de Ferro de Caxangá.
Another steam tramway, the 1400 mm gauge Trilhos Urbanos do Recife a Olinda e Beberibe, which was built with Brazilian capital, inaugurated a line to the historic village of Olinda on 20 June 1870, and a route to Beberibe in July.

Built by Manning Wardle in 1897 along with sister engines "Yeo" and "Exe" for the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, running between Barnstaple Town and Lynton.
Hopelessly unprofitable pretty much from the start, the railway had a life of only 37 years, finally closing in 1935.
Probably the only man there able to write a cheque for the lot, he dismissed the engines as old-fashioned, ugly little things with tall chimneys.
