The former NCB South Hetton Colliery Hunslet built Austerity 0-6-0ST No. 69 has now left the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway and has relocated to her new home at the North Tyneside Steam Railway at West Chirton in Northumberland. No. 69 has been sold to a member of the railway there and will be on display for now as it is planned to overhaul and restore the locomotive next year from 2021.

When I visited South Hetton in September 1971 to photograph the locos, I got photos of all the operating and one dumped loco, but not this one, as it was in the rather narrow shed for a washout. good to see you again, No 69!
