'Gladiator' was completed on 14th March 1921, and supplied new to Fred Gray, a London showman based in Hamstead. Originally called 'Wonder', her name was altered to 'Gladiator' at some stage in her career. When her showland days with Gray's were over, she passed through four owners from 1955 to 1988, when the engine was occasionally rallied, before a major overhaul was required. In 1988, World of Country Life in Exmouth Devon bought her and decided to restore her to her former glory!.
