The ex Park Hill Colliery Hudswell Clark built 0-6-0T (Works No. 1884) No. S102 "Cathryn", will be leaving Peak Rail as its loan to them is to expire this Spring, as the locomotive will be returning home to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway at Wirksworth in Derbyshire, to be part of their resident steam fleet there.

The former Park Hill Colliery Hudswell Clark built 0-6-0T No. S102 "Cathryn" has now left the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and has relocated to Peak Rail at Rowsley in Derbyshire for completion of its restoration and will likely operate there when finished.

The former Park Hill Colliery Hudswell Clark built 0-6-0T No. S102 "Cathryn" is now in the final stages of its overhaul and rebuild as her boiler had successfully passed its hydraulic test which was undertaken by Israel Newton & Son at Cromford in November 2020. The boiler is soon to be returned Wirksworth for its official steam test soon. Which hopefully the locomotive will enter service at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway this year.

Progress to date is impressive. The frames have been straightened, a necessary job to repair old collision damage. A new smokebox has been fitted and the restored cab and side tanks fitted. The boiler is off site at a nearby contractor for overhaul.
