A rare opportunity to own a piece of industrial history in the North East of England. This ex-NCB Loco is one of only a few remaining from the 1910s, and its authenticity makes it a highly sought-after collector's item.
Built in Exeter, Newbiggin Colliery was operational until the early 2000s, when the mine closed due to declining coal production. The locomotive was originally built in 1901, during the heyday of the North Eastern Railway, and was one of several 0-6-0ST locos that served on this line.
This particular locomotive has been preserved in its original condition, with many original details intact, including the iconic cab nose and wheels. Its ex-Durham Water heritage makes it a unique asset for any railway enthusiast or historian.
Measuring just over six feet long, this Loco is a small but mighty machine that still packs a punch. It's ready to be restored to its former glory or used as a statement piece in your own collection. Don't miss the chance to add one of these rare gems to your portfolio of industrial treasures.
