SBR - Portugesa {1 of 3}

19 Aug 2024 1 39
Portugesa aka Escucha : 0-4-0ST Built in 1883 by Black Hawthorn [Newcastle upon Tyne] {wksno. 748} and exported via Swansea and seems to have disappeared. By the latter half of the 20th century she was renamed Escucha and had been modified with longer frames and side tanks. In 1984 the late Eric Maxwell found her at Minas T Ferrocariles de Utrillas in Tervel, Spain. He bought her and returned her to the area where she had been built, and housed her in a specially built shed at the Tanfield Railway. Some restoration work had been done, but not completed when Eric died. Since then HE&CT - the Hawthorn Engine & Carriage Trust - have entered into a partnership with the Statfold Narrow Gauge Museum Trust that will see Portugesa returned to steam by 2030. She's now at Statfold and temporarily bolted together for display ...

SBR - Roger

19 Aug 2024 28
Roger - aka I.S.C. ltd No.2 ... 0-4-0ST Wren class built in 1918 by Kerr, Stuart [Stoke on Trent] wksno. 3128 Supplied to the National Smelting Company's zinc refinery at Avonmouth [near Bristol]. Kept as a spare loco after dieselisation following WW2, it was finally sold in 1959 to CH Lambe & sons of Bromsgrove, who in turn sold it to Canadian collector Charles Matthews of Thornhill, Ontario. In 2013 Roger was to be overhauled, but Canadian red tape required boiler work that would have irreversibly altered the appearance and historical character of the engine. Therefore, and very sadly, Mr Matthews sold 3128 to Statfold and she came here permanently in 2016. The overhaul included a repaint into the grey livery of the Imperial Smelting Corporation, the successors to the NSC.
