Headlamp and leading water tank [no flash] Tasmanian Railways K1 : 0-4-0 + 0-4-0 Built in 1909 to Garratt's patent by Beyer, Peacock [Manchester] : wksno. 5292 K1 aka K 1 1/2 is reputed to have been assembled from parts of both K1 and K2 prior to returning to the UK. She arrived at Portmadoc in 1966 but she was far too big - and heavy - for the Festiniog. However, she can fit into the Welsh Highland route, although her tractive effort is too small for working regular service trains she has made a number of guest visits. I have had the pleasure of travelling behind her on a few occasions. There had been a number of mechanical & steaming issues which lead to her being put on loan to SBR in 2019, with the agreement being that she would be overhauled, and she was back in steam by 2020. I have a fantasy that she pays a visit to the South Tynedale Railway - hearing her storm up to Alston from Slaggyford would be a wonderful cacophony !

Manual station crane (goods) and water tower, noting the clean ballast and other points, plenty of recent improvement works have taken place.

Combined water tank and coaling stage. (apologies for the focus, camera hates cold weather)

This is a large water tower, built on substantial stone pillars but back in steam days there was a lot going on here at the station. The "room" underneath has had several uses, but is currently not occupied.

Maker's Plate on the railway water tank at Haltwhistle - reads "Peter Tate, Engineer, 1861, R,Wylie &Co., Newcastle Tyne" - which is bolted cast iron panels over a low stone built tower, the interior space has seen various uses, until fairly recently was an "outdoor" shop / gallery.

Something that is not often open for inspection - the top water tank for the Saltburn Cliff Lift. For those who have a mind for figures, the top reservoir holds 18,500 gallons, the bottom one takes 30,000 gallons and the holding tanks on the tramcars 350 gallons each. The refurbishment and cleaning was taking place just before reopening in April 2012. The piles of rubbish were to be removed before refilling.
