The former Acton Hall Colliery Hunslet built 0-6-0ST Works No. 2705 "Beatrice" has recently returned to traffic at the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway following completion of a overhaul. This year marks 40 years of "Beatrice" being in preservation in private ownership. "Beatrice" has seen upgrades in preservation such as the fitting of a rocking grate, hopper ashpan and a Lempor exhaust system.

A major overhaul is progressing. The valve gear is being overhauled, and a new firebox made. It may steam later in 2006.
