Steam Locomotive Information

Here is the photo album for NCB Waterside Colliery No. 24, a 0-6-0T located in Bo'ness, West Lothian. If you would like to suggest additional photos for this album, please click here.

Nicely presents in National Coal Board lined black, the loco shows a Giesl ejector exhaust, a feature the Coal Board used on quite a number of locos in the search for fuel economy. British Railways tried the device but never adopted it.

To be permitted to travel on British Railways lines for short distances, industrial locos could be registered with the Railway Executive, and would carry a plate like this.

The left hand cylinder and slide bars.

The connecting rod and rear coupling rod. Notice the flangeless centre driving wheel.

In the cab - like many locos, the non ferrous parts have been removed, probably for security.
