Fat Controller Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 They had a few, but they were probably a bit small for most of the larger plants. I did have a look at Paul Bartlett's site and found an 0-4-0 ( http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/industriallocomotive/h12fda580#h12fda580 ) and an 0-6-0 ( http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/industriallocomotive/h1b309716#h1b309716 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Corby had two 0-4-0 and three 0-6-0 Sentinels Hydraulics, but all were minerals locos confined to the quarries. The four coupled came from the Oxfordshire Ironstone system and worked at Glendon (one came via Harlaxton) and the six couples were mainly based on the main system at Gretton Brook. The numerous 14s were also on the minerals roster although two transferred to the tube works when the quarries closed but their stay was short lived, the wheelbase being too long for the paintwork, and in any case they were much too big for the restricted clearances in many of the buildings. A Janus would probably be the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 think Skinningrove was only a rolling mill? It was only a finishing mill at the time of your photos but had been a fully integrated iron and steelworks until the early 70's. It was the UK's second smallest integrated works after Brymbo. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
