… another prepares to steam at Embsay
EMBSAYBASED Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST No. 22 (2320/1952) is expected to return to steam later this year after more than two decades out of use.
It is expected to be outshopped with the number 54 – the identity it carried during the first 11 years it worked at East Hetton Colliery in County Durham.
The loco is nearing the end of a major overhaul at Embsay, which has involved significant boiler repairs.
These are being completed by Heritage Boiler Steam Services near Liverpool, while the bottom end has been overhauled at Embsay.
