Some photos of the various railway goings-on at Beamish on a quiet - and wet - Tuesday in October

Seaham harbour locomotive 'Lewin'

'Puffing Billy' and 'Locomotion No 1' were both undergoing maintenance with various items missing, which did give an interesting view of the innards (and I was previously wondering if they were fitted with boiler tubes or gone for the original style)
Hetton Colliery locomotive of c1850 but based on/heavily rebuilt using early locomotives
Love these early 1800's cartoons
Engine from the 1823 Stephenson Works in Newcastle
The Wallsend Steam Elephant locomotive was in use
Over at the 1913 town railway, the rebuilt Rowley station and area have been receiving some touches to look more North Eastern Railway - window frames etc have been repainted, and new 'NORTH EASTERN' notice boards have been put up. Small differences that make a surprisingly big, and very nice, impact
NER Tranship van
Rebuilt goods shed from Alnwick
