Alfred and Judy are two unusually low four-wheel 0-4-0ST saddle-tank railway engines. They were built by W.G. Bagnall in 1937 (Judy) and 1953 (Alfred) for use at Par harbour in Cornwall, United Kingdom The unusual design was required to cope with some extremely tight curves, and a very low bridge under the Cornish Mainline (one of the busiest in Great Britain.) They originally worked at the Port of Par in the UK, and are now both preserved in operational condition on the heritage Bodmin and Wenford Railway.
Their actual type of steam locomotive originally was meant to be mass-produced, but the plan was scrapped.
