It worked at what was Taylor's. I think it was ABB wheelsets when I saw it and was, by then, a purely an internal railway, having been cuf off from the rest of the Trafford Park system and the national network. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the other locos in a line in the distance on my shot of the steel works. this loco never came out onto the 'main line'. It shoved loaded 16tonners out. It looks like a 4wheeled 04 shunter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years I just presumed that the Taylor Bros wheel foundry was just another manufacturer lost due to globalisation etc. and it was only a few years ago that I found out that it still exists nearby in a brand new foundry set on an appropriately named road! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
