Pet is a contestant in The Wiki Camp 2 who uses it/she pronouns. From Crewe, England, it is a tiny 18 inch gauge 0-4-0T steam locomotive manufactured by Crewe Works in 1865 and operated by the London and North Western Railway in revenue service until its 18 inch gauge railway was abandoned in 1929.
Pet was built for service in and around Crewe Works, transporting boilers and other heavy parts around. It is one of many locomotives to use an 0-4-0T wheel arrangement: no leading truck, four driving wheels, and no trailing truck; the T means it is a tank engine.
Today, Pet is currently at the National Railway Museum in York. It miraculously wasn't scrapped, as it was preserved in a paint shop after the 18 inch gauge railway was abandoned.
