Building cranes at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

  Fantastic! And of course there was a nearby pub named 'The Hydraulic Crane' too. A slightly posed photo but very real. To see machinery being made, of which only a handful survive, is great. Many think this was the only large factory along The Tyne - oh no. There were many and land along the river was at a premium and had no gaps of greenery along its banks for many miles. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Tank engine for the Weardale Lead Company

from North East Museums

  I hope it had a long, productive and safe life.

• optimal chicken said:

  We'll soon find out Alan. I've hotlinked it to a few local history groups and we also have some excellent train fanatics viewing these pages. Almost every steam loco built has had its full history recorded..

• optimal chicken said:

  I have some feedback; ' Little Nut. ran between the Boltsburn Mill, Boltsburn Mine, Lintzgarth Mill Wolfcleugh'. It seems it had a crew of two men and due to the weather extremes of where it was working (high in the North Pennines) it was fitted with a more weatherproof cabin which looked much like larger locos. It seems that wasn't enough (it can snow sideways up there!) and it was fitted with basic full wooden doors! This small loco was also given its own small snow plough to keep the tracks clear!

The engine room of 'Naess Crusader'

  Oh, it's going to be noisy in there someday! But thanks to the crew, this engine room will be kept in Bristol condition.
