Black Prince

One of three locomotives built by the German manufacturer Krupp and designed by a contemporary of Henry Greenly, Roland Martens. They were all built for a trade fair held in Dusseldorf.

Originally named Fleissiges Leischen (which, in English, is small flower) she saw some action in Köln, before being put into store. She duly arrived at New Romney and after minor modifications to the drivers seating and a repaint she entered service as No.11 Black Prince, the name formerly held by No.10.
