RSH built number 49 and newly restored Stanley are in light steam at Marley Hill shed in preparation for use on the second day of the 'Legends of Industry' gala weekend.
Marley Hill shed was built around 1854, and was in industrial use until 1971 with the preservationists taking over shortly afterwards.
Stanley is the most recently restored member of the Tanfield home fleet - Another Andrew Barclay it was used at East Tanfield colliery and in later years around Marley Hill so is back on home territory after many years out of operation.

As night draws in the misty conditions return while the loco footplate crew slowly propel the empty wagons back over the points and into the sidings for the night. The ground crew wait to set the brakes on the wagons and uncouple the loco to allow it to return to the shed.

Last run out for steam locomotive 0-4-0ST Andrew Barclay No.2199 'Victory' at the Whitwell and Reepham heritage station open day. This event marked 140 years since the opening of the station in 1882 and the 13th anniversary year since its reopening as a heritage railway. It is to be replaced by 0-4-0ST Robert Stephenson and Hawthorn No.7681 'Ashcroft No 3' , which has been completely overhauled by volunteers. The former M&GN or Midland and Great Northern Railway sometimes went by the moniker Muddle&GoNowhere railway due to its rural location serving between Southern Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Whilst waiting for the Barclay to move forward at Beamish I was joined by this tame robin who stood right next to me on the fence.
I couldn't resist a quick photo as the little Barclay simmered away in the background.

Andrew Barclay No.1245 of 1911 works enthusiastically past Backbarrow with the 09.50 Haverthwaite - Lakeside on Fri 8th April 2022.
Andrew Barclay 0-6-0 Saddle Tank Number 75178 at the Bodmin and Wenford Railway, Cornwall, UK. This is one of the WD (war Department) Austerity locomotives designed by Hunslet of Leeds.
The ‘Pug’ was built by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co Ltd at Caledonia Works in Kilmarnock in 1934. It initially operated as No.9 with Edinburgh Collieries Ltd before moving around considerably to other Collieries in Central Scotland during which time it was renumbered to No. 29. Quoted from the Pittencrieff Park website
Pittencrieff Park (known locally as "The Glen") is a public park in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. It was purchased in 1902 by the town's most famous son, Andrew Carnegie, and given to the people of Dunfermline in a ceremony the following year. Its lands include the historically significant and topologically rugged glen which interrupts the centre of Dunfermline and, accordingly, part of the intention of the purchase was to carry out civic development of the area in a way which also respected its heritage. The project notably attracted the attention of the urban planner and educationalist, Patrick Geddes. The glen is an area of topographical and historical significance to Dunfermline as the original site of Malcolm's Tower, the probable remains of which can be identified today on a strongly defendable outcrop of rock. To the eastern side of the park is Dunfermline Palace with Dunfermline Abbey and to the west it overlooks the village of Crossford. Quoted from Wikipedia
Andrew Barclay Works No. 1550 'Sir James'
Andrewbarclay1550
The Andrew Barclay Works No 1550 named Sir James is a GF10 class 0-6-0F fireless steam locomotive that sits on static display at the Devil’s Porridge Museum in Scotland.
History
Built by Andrew Barclay for the War Department to work at the HM Factory at Gretna. It was delivered there in September 1917 along with Works No 1549. Works Nos 1551 – 1554 were delivered in October and November 1917.
Being fireless locomotives they had a steam accumulator rather than a boiler and which was charged up with steam from a stationary boiler. It also meant that there was no chance of it starting a fire.
The locomotive then entered preservation as a static exhibit at the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway where it arrived in 1982.
In 2011 the locomotive returned to its home ground when it was acquired by the Devil’s Porridge Museum. The rusting locomotive was then restored and placed on static display in 2014 where it has located ever since.
Trivia
All were fireless of the same design.
It had 14½ inch x 18 inch outside cylinders and 3 feet diameter driving wheels. The tractive effort was 14,744 lbf and it weighed 26 tons. It was capable of hauling ten loaded wagons at speeds of up to 15 mph.

Recreating the sort of scene that would have been commonplace in many rail served industrial sites during the steam era, Andrew Barclay 1219 attracts some attention as it moves off shed at Marley Hill.
The little Barclay is normally based at the Pontypool and Blaenavon railway but has been on loan to Beamish for much of the spring and had taken a short journey down the road to Tanfield for their 'Legends of Industry' gala.

‘Grey’ (Barclay No.1994 of 1931) was supplied to the Durham County Water Board to work on the construction of Burnhope Reservoir in the early 1930s.
At the end of construction it was sold on in 1938 for further use on the Penrhyn Quarry Railway system in North Wales where it acquired the name 'Glyder’
After falling out of use at Penrhyn It was exported, along with a number of other former Penrhyn locomotives, to the USA. After arrival in the US the locomotive was purchased at auction by Tony Hulman (the then owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway home of the Indy 500).
After many years of storage in 2012 a deal was done to see the return of Glyder (along with two other narrow gauge locomotives), finally returning to the UK after years in storage.
Although never a colliery engine Glyder/Grey' isn't far from it's first home, and certainly looks the part shunting around the colliery village in the summer sunshine.

One of the best BR two-tone green retro paint jobs was applied to Freightliner 47830 (D1645) 'Beeching's Legacy' at the time on-hire to ROG and was used on this Andrew Barclay Kimarnock to Laira T&RSMD GWR HST stock move back in April 2016.
* I joined the gallery at Red Bank blissfully unaware that it had missed out the Preston pathing stop and was 48 early at this stage. Adding to the drama, 4S43 the 'Tesco Express' was bearing down on us from behind ... phew!

1910 built Andrew Barclay number 1219 'Caledonia Works', looks very much at home playing with the chaldron wagons at Beamish Colliery.

Given the locomotive's unexpected motorsport connections, I couldn't resist a shot of Glyder receiving some pit stop style swift attention from it's crew.

*Glyder was once owned by Tony Hulman (owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway home of the Indy 500.
This locomotive was built in 1946 by Andrew Barclay and was delivered new to Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd for use at their Dyestuffs Division Works at Huddersfield.
It worked at the ICI plant at Huddersfield until diesel power took over in 1967.
The locomotive was donated by ICI to Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Preservation Society and arrived at Haworth in April 1968
The locomotive was used in the early days of KWVR but had limited use on passenger trains because of its heavy axleload and short wheelbase. Its use diminished until its boiler certificate expired when it was taken out of service and placed on display at Oxenhope.
It was eventually sold and moved in 1992 to Poynton and formed the focal point of a picnic area in a garden centre.
In 2015 rumours suggested that the owners wished to sell the locomotive and an offer was made by a Churnet Valley Railway volunteer to buy it.
The locomotive was then moved to the Churnet Valley Railway with the intention of overhauling it and using it as a station pilot at Cheddleton.
