I was brought up beside the CKP (Cockermouth,Keswick, Penrith) branch line in Cumbria which like many others was closed by Dr Death in the 60’s. Although my main memory is of DMU’s working the line the mainstay of the line used to be a loco known as the Cauliflower. The CKP company aparently never owned any engines and loaned the cauliflowers from LMS who owned the main line passing through Penrith.

Does anyone know what these engines were and if anyone has ever done drawings for a model? They were I believe an 060 which was hard working and reputed to haul far more than they were designed for on the CKP, particularly on Bank Holiday weekends when tourists decended in their hundreds on Penrith wanting transport to Keswick.

I’m sure Cauliflower is just a nick name so if someone knows the actual name of this loco I could google it for more information.

Thanks, Chris.

Hi Chris,

the ‘cauliflowers’ were the nickname of the 0-6-0 express goods engines designed by F W Webb for the London and North Western Railway. Their official title was ’18 inch Goods’ I think but were also known as the ‘Crested Goods’ The nickname came from the crest on the wheel splasher which resembled a cauliflower from a distance!

Many thanks for that John. Looks like a fine little engine, now all I need to know is wether there are drawings out there for her.
