Tank engine for the Weardale Lead Company

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

  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!

Side tank engine 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe'

from North East Museums

• A.Davey said:

  I wonder whether they had to obtain the Earl's permission to use his name. Today, they would have to pay him royalties if he were a living person.

• Bruce Hunt said:

  The Earl of Mount Edgcumbe was a director of the company as the Lord St Leven (sister engine)

Delivery of a 50 ton rudder to the Elswick Works

  It boggles the mind to see objects this massive that are themselves pieces of an even larger machine.
