Ruston Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I recently bought a few very old issues of The Locomotive magazine and have scanned this from the August 1902 issue. I wonder if any readers identified the engine and its origins? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassey Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 " "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." Locomotive September 1902 3 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) 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? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Same publication, I think it has been discussed elsewhere on RMweb that there was a connection through Trains Illustrated to Modern Railways. Quote: 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 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
