An Old Stratford Relic

"AN OLD STRATFORD RELIC."

SINCE the publication in our August issue of the

reproduced photograph bearing the above title we

have received an interesting letter from one of

our readers. He states that this engine was No. 8

" Tyne," and as a tender engine was built for the

Newcastle and Carlisle Railway by R. & W.

Hawthorne, of Newcastle. It took part in the

opening of that Railway and, for the occasion,

besides being gaily decorated carried a barrel

organ on the footplate. The " Tyne," together

with her sister engine " Eden," No. 9, were sold

to a contractor and used on the Colchester

section of the Eastern Counties Railway.

They were afterwards sent to Stratford for

scrapping."

If you buy the double-DVD from the Great Eastern Railway Society, you can have access to the complete Locomotive Magazine  1896 - 1923.

 

Separately, "TYNE" was Hawthorns 217/1836, built as an 0-4-0 with cylinders 14" x 15" and 4'6" diameter wheels.

Thanks.

 

Do you know if The Locomotive is the same magazine as The Locomotive Railway Carriage & Wagon Review but with the change of name?

Same publication, I think it has been discussed elsewhere on RMweb that there was a connection through Trains Illustrated to Modern Railways.

The title of this journal is a bibliographer's purgatory: it is normally different on the cover from that given on the opening page. Similar variations are found on the "official publisher's bindings" - http://steamindex.com/locomag/key.htm
