This image taken at Blackgates Miniature Railway in Bradford Road shows two steam locomotives. In the background is a locomotive based on an engine from the Richmond and York River Railroad. The railroad played a key part in the Peninsula Campaign of the American Civil War in 1862. This miniature engine is built to 7.25 gauge by Roanoke near Barnstaple. The green engine is a miniature version of the first North Eastern Railways Uniflow locomotive, number 825. It was adapted in 1913 by Sir Vincent Raven from an S-class 4-6-0 mixed traffic locomotive (no. 825). It is possible to see the two uniflow cylinders mounted at an angle, side front. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Blackgates Minature Railway | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
