Sea Lion, Steam tank locomotive in Groudle Glen, Isle of Man
Sea Lion operates on narrow-gauge tracks at Groudle Glen Railway, featuring a distinctive 2-4-0T wheel arrangement and two operating cylinders.
Manufactured by W.G. Bagnall in 1896, Sea Lion served as the railway's sole locomotive until 1905 when Polar Bear joined the fleet.
The locomotive's restoration in 1986 involved apprentices from British Nuclear Fuels, demonstrating local industrial preservation efforts on the Isle of Man.
After receiving a new boiler in 2003, Sea Lion was painted in Brunswick green, reflecting its 1920s appearance during regular passenger service.
The locomotive shares its name with marine mammals, connecting the railway's coastal location to local maritime heritage through transportation history.
