This locomotive is a rare piece of industrial heritage, built in the late 19th century for the Shotton Colliery railway line on the outskirts of Bradford, West Yorkshire. At just six feet long, it's a compact and efficient design that maximizes space within the small yard.
Originally known as Horden No.2, this locomotive was one of several "Shotton" models built by the British Locomotive Company. Its distinctive round nose gives it a unique appearance that is both nostalgic and striking.
As you can see in Photo #F2162, the locomotive has undergone restoration to preserve its original condition. Its black body and white headlamp are perfectly preserved, allowing you to imagine how it would have looked during its time in service. This piece of history makes for a fascinating model or display item, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This NCB SHOTTON COLLIERY - 0-6-0ST LOCO HORDEN NO.2 is a true gem of industrial heritage, offering a glimpse into the past when railways were still in their early stages of development.
