View of the newly completed Display Hall at the Engine House, Moor Road Station, Middleton Railway. The engines are awaiting their first visitors in the new faciity which was built with the aid of the Heritage Lottery Fund. In the foreground left is the blue Brookes no.1. built by the Hunslet Engine Company in 1941 for Brookes Chemicals Ltd. It had spent several years masquerading as 'Thomas the Tank Engine', visiting other railways. In 2007 it was converted back to Brookes No.1 again. Behind it is 138C Thomas Hill, a steam engine rebuilt as a diesel engine in 1965. The blue engine in the foreground, right, is Matthew Murray, a steam locomotive built by Manning, Wardle in 1903.
Behind it, with a long tank, is the 1369 built by Hudswell Clarke and purchased by the Manchester Ship Canal. It has a grey, lined livery. Other locomotives further back on the right are 1882 Mirvale (Hudswell Clarke 1955), Mary no.577 in red livery (Hudswell Clarke 1932) and the green 91 Brush/Beyer Peacock 0-4-0DE (1958). | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Middleton Railway Moor Road Station | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
