Film of NE Colliery Locos

A still from the 1970 film showing Horden at Shotton Colliery 
The YouTube video of Industrial Steam at Shotton Colliery in 1970 features Horden, a loco which we aim to have working on Tanfield Railway 50 years later, in 2020.   Also shown at Shotton is the TR loco Stagshaw.

Featured somewhere in Northumberland (anyone know where?) is Hudswell Clarke No.38, yet another TR loco.   This is followed by No.48 at Backworth, a sister loco of our No.49.

Shots of HC 38 at Shilbottle in the early 1970s, it was dumped out of use by July 1972. Tom
