Experimental electric loco known as the Beetle was a prototype for the Manchester to Leeds electrification. Rebuilt from a 2-4-2 wheel arrangement steam locomotive. It was introduced in 1912 for goods traffic and earned the nickname ‘Beetle’. This had four 150 horsepower (110 kW) motors and could pick up current from the third rail on the main line or from overhead wires in Aintree and North Mersey yards. It was withdrawn and scrapped around 1920. (Wikipedia)Measures 15 x 12 inches
