Broad Gauge Saddle Tank 'Argo' at Plymouth North Road. 'Argo' was one of 8 locomotives in the Dido class - although on half of them were different to the other four, and even belonged to different railway companies. However they were all built by the same works - Slaughter, Gruning & Co., of Bristol (later Avonside Engine Company. Built in 1860 for the Cornwall Railway Company, she gained the number 2151 when she became GWR property in 1876. She survived until the end of the Broad Gauge in 1892, and famously appears on one of the photographs taken at Swindon dump after the Gauge change.
