Arthur (left) and King Arthur (right)

Southern Railway King Arthur class 4-6-0 express passenger locomotive number 771 "Sir Sagramore". This scale model is the twin of number 772 "Sir Percivale" which was built in the 1970's by Richards Engineering for the then new, but now defunct line at Oakhill Manor near Bath.

However although 771was started by Richards alongside her sister the loco was never finished and remained a "box of bits" for many years until completed by the late Peter Howard in 1993 for his Downsells Railway in Kent.

Sadly Peter Howard died in 1998 shortly after entrusting the locomotive into the care of present owner, initially at the Manor Railway, Ingfield and now at the South Downs Light Railway at Pulborough where it is part of the Chris English collection.
