2-4-2, L&B, Green -
Formally owned by the late Robin Lee, Ellan Bee was built by Fred Cormick and John Barber, both then members of the Manx Steam & Model Engineering Society in the Isle of Man.

Ellan Bee spent the first two years of her working life on the Orchid Line at the Curraghs Wildlife Park entertaining many thousands of young & old around the quite extensive 7¼” Gauge track built and operated by the MS&MEC. Although the name Ellan Bee is partially derived from the fact that the locomotive is based on a Linton & Barnstable, the Isle of Man is also referred to as Ellan Vannin, and that's how she got the spelling of Ellan rather than the more popular Ellen
