BALDWIN at the LBNGR
BALDWIN at the LBNGR
On the Saturday, I arrived early at Pages Park, to watch the locos being prepared for the first day of the 2007 Gala. Among them was the ex-WD 2-6-0T Baldwin, which I had not seen in steam before.
In this short film we see the loco propelling its train from the shed yard to the platform, before leaving with the first train to Stonehenge.
We also see it at a couple of places along the line.
(HD) Leighton Buzzard Railway, Indian Extravaganza Part 1, 06/05/2013.
The Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge railway in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom held an Indian railway themed event over the first Bank Holiday weekend in May 2013.
They had two steam locomotives which orginally worked on the 2ft Narrow Gauge Railway line in India.
Their main railway station at Page's Park was decorated with Indian Railways Signage most notably the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway of West Bengal, along with stalls from the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Society, Narrow Gauge Railway, Indian Spiced Teas (Chai) and representatives from Indian Railways and the Gurkhas.
The two locomotives that where running where Baldwin Side Tank 4-6-0 No.778 which was built in Philadephia, USA for the British War Department to work on the narrow gauge line in France/Belgium during the First World War. After the War 778 was exported to India and began a life working with The North Western Railway of India and worked in areas which now form Pakistan. Just before Partition of India, 778 was moved to the Central Indian State of Uttar Pradesh where she worked on Sugar Mills until mid 1984. In the Mid 1990's 778 was bought to the UK and restored to full working order working on preserved railways across the UK and France and now has permanent residence at the Leighton Buzzard Railway.
The Star of the Event was Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Locomotive No.19, the only locomotive outside of India. No.19 is a 'B' Class locomotive built by Sharp Steward & Co of Glasgow, Scotland UK (Later the North British Railway Works) in 1889 for work on the railway line between New Jalapaiguri (Siliguri) and the moutain town of Darjeeling both of which are in India's North East State of West Bengal.
No.19 had its first major overhaul in Tindhara works, India in 1908, the locomotive was withdrawn from the DHR in 1960 as was purchased by Elliott Donelley to run on his private railway in Illinois, USA. Upon Mr Donelley's death in 1975 the locomotive was acquired by the Hesston Museum in Northern Indiana.
In 2002 No.19 was acquired by Adrian Shooter, a DHRS member and Managing Director of Chiltern Railways. It returned to the UK across the Atlantic in a shipping container in early 2003 and was fully restored at Tyseley Locomotive Works, Birmingham, by a team led by the experienced locomotive engineer, Bob Meanley. At the same time, two replica DHR carriages were constructed at the Boston Lodge Works of the Ffestiniog Railway, Wales UK.
DHR No.19 features in many railway events across preserved railway scene in the UK.
