Some Lambton Colliery No.29 history :-
No.29 was built for the Lambton Railway in 1904 by Kitson and Company of Leeds. It is a 0-6-2T tank engine and was used at the Hetton and Joicey Collieries in the North East until they closed in 1967.
All locomotives on the Lambton Railway were built or modified to a unique loading gauge, which resulted in a rounded-cab profile. This was to enable them to work down the narrow bored tunnel to Lambton Drops (coal staiths) at the Port of Sunderland.
In August 2023 it was reported that the owners (the Lambton Locomotives Trust) intended to overhaul the locomotive

What a magnificent engine and a fantastic paint job. The curved cab roof is stunning, what a work of art! And that whistle! Thanks for a great video.

Wow, plenty of flange squeal on those yard workings! Is the gauge only 4' 8"?

#29 is COOL!!!!!

Afraid I’ve lost most of the previous post, what I like about loco 29 is that it matches the outline of a GWR Prairie with similar performance.
