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..

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!

Great shot however it is a 20 class tank engine, not a 30 class. Although occasionally a 30 class tank did go onto the Camden Branch (especially in the latter years) , the 20 class were the mainstay of power on the branch.

It might not have been said at the time, but Hilda is very cute. I'm puzzled by the two downward-pointing tines at the very front of the engine. They don't seem like they'd be effective at clearing obstacles from the path of the engine, but I can't think what other purpose they would serve.
