No. 92134 was first allocated to Saltley shed from new in May 1957 where it was employed on working heavy freight trains to Gloucester, Nuneaton and Derby. It also hauled the Water Orton to Glasgow class C freight which it worked as far as Carlisle via Sheffield and Skipton and of coures the Settle and Carlisle line. Then in December 1957 it moved to Wellingborough depot where worked on the Toton to Brent coal trains as well as the weekday services to Rotherwood near Sheffield. From February 1964 it them moved to Leicester Midland shed on the Midland mainline and received an overhaul at Eastleigh Works in September 1964. Its last shed on BR was at Birkenhead shed from April 1965, where it was withdrawn from service in December 1966 and sold to Woodham Brothers at Barry in South Wales for scrap. Where it would remain rusting away until until December 1980 when it was rescued for preservation.

Where No. 92134 steamed again for the first time for 53 years, and is right at home on the North Yorkshire Moors line working hard on the steap gradients the line has there. In recent years No. 92134 has visited a number of preserved railways around the UK, as it has visited both the Great Central Railway and the East Lancashire Railway, but its a popular member of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s running fleet and has recently been a film star there when it appeared in the 2023 Indiana Jones film "The Dial of Destiny" where No. 92134 was dressed up as a German Troop Train for the film.

Unknown 0-4-0F No. Unknown

Posted by: on Aug 10, 2025 @ 20:08:19
Looking at Algoma Steel 0-4-0F No. 10 in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, Canada, it is highly likely these two are sister engines, as the smokestack, domes, bell positioning and overall proportions match greatly. This leads me to also strongly assume they share the same specifications.
