3483 PERSEVERANCE II - BUILT 1913 - HARNIESS BROS - Survived
Supplied new to Harniess Bros in June 1913 for their Savage-built "Little Wonder" ride. She and Fowler Enterprise were a popular sight at the country fairs in South Yorkshire LIncolnshire and Nottinghamshire. 3483 generated for the cars and organ. She was fitted with a post-type crane which was later changed to the bunker extension design. She was later sold to Mrs John Cole of Chichester for her Savage-built Spinning-top Switchback ride, A unique feature of the engine was a hatch in the canopy above the main dynamo so it could be lifted and removed easily.
