A Marley Hill Loco

There are two austerity locos at Marley Hill.   There were two austerity locos at Marley Hill during most of its NCB days, Bowes Railway nos. 17 & 20.   On paper, these were renumbered 28 & 83 in the early 1950s, but were known as & carried their original numbers until the late 1960s, with the 'new' number below, smaller & in brackets - see the photo of Vic & an austerity on Hobson Bank Loco Crew.

Austerity No.83 with empties heading towards MH screens to be loaded, probably late 1960s.
The steep winding bank behind the loco goes to MH colliery, near the pony stables.
