Year 1874 (1) Hebburn Works 0-4-0 industrial saddle tank locomotive

"Conserved but not restored" sums up this funny little Hebburn Works 0-4-0 industrial saddle tank engine built in 1874 by Black Hawthorn & Co. Ltd. of Gateshead. Many visitors might not even notice it but Bauxite No 2 worked in an aluminium smelting plant until 1947 pushing wagons of bauxite rock into aluminium smelters. The NRM look after it, but it has never been repainted. This grimy little loco was (to quote from the information board), "the Victorian equivalent of a forklift truck" and many similar small industrial 19th century locomotives spent their life moving materials around factories, quarries and docks etc., pictured in the National Railway Museum York.

It was used to record the world beating record speed performance of the steam locomotive MALLARD in July 1938.
