Description:The 060 side tank locomotive "Monmouth" was perfect for the standard gauge, light railway that crossed Cannock Chase to service the Great War Army camps. The number of trucks that they pulled was limited to four due to the gradient and to some of the curves they encountered. It was working on Cannock Chase by 1917 and later went to Catterick Camp. It was sold to Carlton Main Colliery, Yorkshire, in 1919. A spark guard is fitted to the funnel to try and prevent any heath fires.
