Here is the photo album for British Celanese No. 'Henry', a 0-4-0ST located in Barrow Hill, Derbyshire. If you would like to suggest additional photos for this album, please click here.

Below the smokebox are the slide valves, mounted vertically just inside the frame and operated by the valve rod which clears the leading axle. August 2019.

The cab interior showing the spartan simplicity of these little locos. Notable is the single sight glass on the left hand side of the firebox, and the reversing lever on the right. August 2019.

A peep between the frames reveals the usual British arrangement on small outside cylinder locos - eccentics for the Stephenson Link valve gear on the rear coupled axle with the counterweight on the left.

'Henry' shares the roundhouse with some, shall we say, more exalted samples of British locomotive production. Arranged around the turntable next to 'Henry' are Great Central Railway 4-4-0 'Butler Henderson' and Midland Railway 3 cylinder compound No.1000, both express passenger designs from the pre 1923 railway companies.
