Its been discovered that the former Doxford Shipyard Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns 0-4-0CT Works No. 7070 "Millfield", has since left Bressingham Steam Museum and Gardens and is now located at nearby M Mayes ex railway yard at Yaxham in Norfolk, on the Mid Norfolk Railway and next to the Yaxham Light Railway, where it is under restoration there.

Another of the crane tank locos from Doxford's Sunderland shipyard. Out to grass in rural eastern England, a very different environment from the shipyards on the banks of the River Wear. Like the other Doxford crane tank locos it takes its name from a district of Sunderland.

Sadly the shipyards of Wearside are no more, but the crane tank locos survive, although they are widely dispersed in the UK today.
