Immediately recognisable as a Manning Wardle & Co. locomotive by the almost square shape of the saddle tank, No. 14 was built at their Leeds works.

It is believed the first owner may have been T W Ward of Sheffield, although they may have been acting as agents for John Lyaught, at whose Scunthorpe steelworks the engine was working in 1913.  Later the same year came a transfer to the Wensley Lime Company at Preston-under-Scar in Yorkshire, who in 1936 had the engine rebuilt by Ridley Shaw of Middlesborough.  The number 14 was acquired in 1957 after a further change of ownership to the South Durham Steel & Iron Co.  It was finally purchased for preservation from their Irchester ironstone mines in Northamptonshire, arriving at Quainton on the 27th August 1969. 

Work commenced and she was named Brill, recognising the fact that Manning Wardle locomotives had been used on the Brill Tramway that started from Quainton Road.   After a few years No. 14 was sold to the Northamptonshire Ironstone Railway and laid derelict there for many years, before being purchased by a new owner and returned to Quainton in October 1998. She underwent some restoration, during which the name Brill was removed.

She left Quainton in March 2005 moving on to the Chinnor and Princess Risborough Railway. Subsequently in April 2006 another move took the locomotive to the Middleton Railway, Hunslett, Leeds, where extensive restoration has commenced.  Full details of the restoration progress to date can be found here, the locomotive has now been renamed E. B. Wilson, after the  owner of the Railway Foundary Leeds, a forerunner company of Manning Wardle..
