Durham Collieries 0-6-0 freight locomotive

Great Britain 1866 1 produced
In its later appearance as Sherburn Collieries No. 2 flickr/Historical Railway Images

Locomotives used in collieries often had a long service life since their operators didn't require them to be very powerful, fast or economical. They only had to be reliable in hard daily shunting service and should have a good amount of starting tractive effort. One of those examples was built for the Durham collieries by Hudswell, Clarke in 1866.

It had outside frames, inside cylinders and in its original appearance, it most likely didn't have a cab. To be coupled not only to normal wagons, but also to small chaldrons, it had two sets of buffers. In 1914, it was sold to Sherburn Hill Colliery and another rebuild is recorded for 1928. It was scrapped around 1940.
