The History and Restoration of Horden
มุมมอง 2.8K4 ปีที่แล้ว
The extensive restoration of 116-year-old steam locomotive Horden is nearing completion at the Tanfield Railway. Built by Andrew Barclay & Sons in Scotland, Horden was built new for Horden Collieries Ltd in County Durham, delivered there in 1904. At that time, Horden colliery didn't have mainline rail access, so the locomotive was delivered to the nearby Shotton station and then moved a track p...
Tanfield Railway... why celebrating our 300th anniversary in 2025 is so important!
มุมมอง 1.3K4 ปีที่แล้ว
In 2025 we celebrate our 300th anniversary, the first working railway to do so! We are really excited and have big plans... including special events and recreating a section of wooden waggonway at Causey. As we're not running trains at the moment, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we worry that some of these plans may not go ahead. With your support, we can change that. Mark, one of our voluntee...

    An amazing improvement to the old rusted engine depicted in the photos. It looks fine and is a welcome addition to Tanfield's industrial engines. It certainly looks great when working on the heritage railway.

    Doesn't have to be copper pipe and bronze flanges though does it?. Id just do it out of steel. You can't see them and steel pipes will be just as functional as copper but cheaper.

    The efforts / work by all involved is absolutely outstanding. I was at Tanfield yesterday and recorded quite a few video clips of Horden, here's the link for all those who might want to see up to date clips of the magnificent steam locomotive. th-cam.com/video/B79tj7AmbxU/w-d-xo.html

    One thinks of the last horse shunters being retired in the mid-1960s and if it was not for the absence of iron-plated wooden rails, not much would seem to have changed.

    Great drawings, where did you find them? Great video, very informative. I am studying this subject for a presentation the starts with wooden railways and ends with the Liverpool and Manchester Railway opening. The history you cover is indeed important. Thanks.
