Industrial Action

19-Dec-2023 @ 14:00 - 16:30

Austerity 0-6-0ST (IC) NCB No. 48 (Hunslet 2864/1943) has now left its wagons in the BR exchange sidings at Backworth (Earsdon) and is returning to join 0-6-0ST (OC) NCB No. 44 (RSH 7760/1953) which is waiting on the line approaching the level-crossing over the BR Blyth & Tyne line. The signabox controlling the crossing can be seen behind No. 48, the signal protecting the crossing is still adorned by a NER finial on top of the post. Once the engines have coupled together they will return bunkerfirst to Eccles Colliery, the other side of the crossing. June 1969.

A Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation.

This is a change from the previously advertised presentation.

In the presentation Geoff will take a look at some industrial systems around the country, including steelworks at Corby and Staveley, paper mills in Kent, cement in Essex and a visit to Avonmouth Docks. Also, colliery workings in Derbyshire, Yorkshire, County Durham, Northumberland and South Wales plus slate in North Wales, together with a few other oddities. A variety of steam and fireless locos are seen hard at work and at rest, plus the odd diesel. These are presented in chronological order from 1962 to 1971.
