For those unsure, the ‘Katie’ tank engine with the glossy smoke box is the original, whilst the one with the matte smoke box is the replica.

Interestingly there were technically 3 Heywood locos at the event as ‘River Irt’ was rebuilt out of an old Heywood loco called ‘Muriel’ which is even older than the original Katie! So there was:
Katie (Original)
Katie (Replica)
Muriel (Rebuilt as River Irt)

If I ever own an estate in the hills of Hong Kong, I'll be having one of these trains.

[@Pirate-Scorcher-1998]

Amazing

Great video

[@AndreiTupolev]

That little American one looks more like 7 1/2" gauge.

It's a Heywood reunion! So were there three different engines all called Katie? There's potential for confusion.

[@Living_Life_RN]

Yes there were three Katies, the Heywood original and the replica, as well as the KLR’s own tender loco.
