This is one of the problems with preserved engines, especially if you are not familiar with them. You do not know what is original and what has been added later.
This is why TT is so good. There is always someone with the correct historical info

Second video:-
http://youtu.be/fhle-xzuMrQ
RS&J No. 24585 of 1911 climbs the cobbled road from the show field to the Town Centre past the passenger railway. Newly restored ex-New Zealnd Mclaren passes between the Town Centre and the main entrance then Marshall No. 17134 of 1889 demonstrates the stone crusher in the colliery yard. Finally resident Fowler DNA Roller arrives for water

The other 2 videos from yesterday:
A replica vintage bus and the passenger train
http://youtu.be/RciIxghxM9I

Shunting in the colliery yard using Fletcher-Jennings "Captain Baxter" and Head-Wrightson Coffee Pot and a couple of Lambton Chauldron coal wagons. The Coffee Pot sounds just like a traction engine

I've not been up for years, looks like a lot done since my last visit. Will have to make the effort again soon.
