Yes good models, I recently purchased one. They were used primarily to haul wagons fron Newcastle quayside a short distance to Manours, up quite a steep gradient.
(Yes was aware - suspect the real thing never pulled a coach in its life) but I wanted one and never going to run prototypically as no overhead anyway - however might let me now have an excuse to build number 13! Would not have paid full price for it however!
Interesting loco , nice to see with period rolling stock
