Side Tank Engine 'Pyramus' built in Newcastle upon Tyne

    It's incredible what they achieved without accurate tooling. I've seen early drills and tools at The National Railway Museum and by crikey it's amazing they worked at all! These men were truly pioneers of the modern railway.

    I very much appreciate the details of equipment like this. Interesting to say the least.

    Yes, once the Victorians worked out how to build engines, they went on a huge building binge. Thank you for the information and the image. If you are ever in Sacramento, California, there's an outstanding railroad museum there.

The tank engine 'Hilda' built by Hawthorn Leslie

from North East Museums

  • A.Davey said:
    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.
