Twizell returned to steam in summer 2010 and now works regularly on the Tanfield Railway. It is a powerful engine on loan from Beamish Museum.

Twizel's cylinders are 17"x24". It weighs 52 tons. Boiler pressure is 180psi. The loco is currently under restoration and will be fully restored in a few months time. I am a volunteer at Tanfield and i have done a lot of work on this loco
