The Works

            With Barber at work outside much of the rest of the eclectic South Tynedale fleet could be found in the workshops at Alston.

At the front left 'Naklo' nears the end of a major overhaul - The locomotive was built at the Polish Chrzanow workshops in 1957 and had previously worked at the Naklo Sugar Factory, near Bydgoszcz.

Behind Naklo is 'Green Dragon' The biomass burning Hunslet has been the backbone of the STR fleet for the last few years. It also has a history related to the sugar industry having spent it's working life at the Umtwalumi Valley Estate (U.V.E) sugar plantation, in Natal, South Africa.

On the right is 'Narworth' - A 1952 built Hudswell-Clarke. Originally a flameproof, underground mine locomotive it was delivered new to Horden Colliery, County Durham.

Another Hudswell-Clarke locomotive 'Old Rusty' is just visible behind 'Green Dragon' and there are also an unidentified set of frames in front of Narworth.
