A 2-1/2 inch gauge coal burning live steam locomotive, "Ayesha" Atlantic, built and owned by L.B.S.C. This is the first 2-1/2 inch gauge engine that size with a coal bire to haul passengers in the early 1920's, causing quite a "furor" at the time, and was still going strong in 1951, after some 28 years of hard use. From "The Live Steamers", July-August 1951.
