Tin Turtle Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Nearly a month since I took these but been busy to put it mildly - Easter saw the wonderful Consett Ironworks A No 5, built by Kitson in 1881, back in steam. Despite appearances it is actually a side tank, not a pannier tank. I can highly recommend a visit to the North Tyneside Steam Railway to have a ride behind this unique locomotive, I think the only 'long boiler' design in steam, at least in the UK? The length of the line is just under two miles, which I didn't realise, and was surprised at One of those rare locomotives that even looks good from the rear At Percy Main 'Gronk' at Middle Engine Lane Returning to Middle Engine Lane End of the day Other exhibits in the Stephenson Railway Museum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
