30742 Charters
Friday 3rd September 2021
Fresh from overhaul LNER Y1 No. 59 (LNER No. 59 / BR No. 68153 / Departmental No. 54), was built by Sentinel in Shrewsbury in 1933 (Works No. 8837) featured with a variety of freight stock on the Middleton Railway, alongside soon to be withdrawn from traffic LNER Y7 1310 (North Eastern Railway Gateshead Work, 1891).
We see the locomotives working along the Balm Road branch, crossing Tulip Street and Moor Road, along with working the the main line from Moor Road passing under the M621 towards Park Halt, including the Y1 being shunted down the Dartmouth Branch.
The Middleton Railway run steam and diesel hauled trains through the Hunslet area of Leeds, an area were so many industrial steam locomotives where built.
At the end of the video we see 68153 shunting fresh from overhaul Hawthorn Leslie & Company Works Number 3860 Swanscombe No. 6, which was due its own debut in the gala weekend on the days after the charter.

Interesting video and nice captures of the steam locos.
A steam sentinel and a smol 0-4-0 yes please 😊❤️
I like the way the sentinal fills the cab with steam poor crews must be blind
0:01 Is this a diesel or a steam loco???
Steam, sentinel vertical boilered locomotive
So I was trying to contact you via some sort of social media output but I couldn’t find another that you’re part of, so may I ask, can I use some of your footage for a small music video
No problem with you using a short clip or two of footage
Its funny to listen to the engine make a somewhat quiet buzzing noise compared to chuffing granted you can still hear the puffing when it goes faster but the buzzing is kinda intresting sounds like a distant chainsaw
That's because the Y1s are chain driven
Why 1? Why not 7!
