It is an interesting artifact, yet so little is left. Sadly, all of the drive mechanism is gone and the boiler a later replacement. An early one, yet still a replacement. So what we have are some interesting wheels and a frame. Still enjoyable Mr. Dawson. Thank you!

Interesting definitely, though depending on how you look at it the in service replacement boiler is equally as important as whatever little remains of the actual original engine. I'm sure there are few if any engines preserved anywhere with 100% of their original components intact 🤔😁

I suspect that it's probably because it's been tucked out of the way, first in a colliery and then in the old Timothy Hackworth museum in Shildon which didn't have a lot of visitor numbers. Since it's transformation into Locomotion it's been in the Soho shed end of the site that hasn't always been open and a good walk from the main hall with lower footfall. Also it was thought for a long time to be a Timothy Hackworth design and there's a much better preserved Derwent as an example of the Hackworth type. The Glitheroe/Bailey study found out it was actually a lot more interesting than it appeared as Anthony has brilliantly explained in this video.

Very interesting on the change in name/history of the engine. Would it be possible to get an overview video of some hackworth design engines such as the Tory, Derwent and miner engines even though some no longer have a surviving example to show? Some survived into NER ownership to my knowledge and would have been quite the archaic sight by the late 1860s

Reminds me of Union Pacific's surviving steam engines, 844 in particular. Aside from all the PR work, one of the reasons it was retained in operational condition was to blow snow from the rails in the yards through pipes built into its front pilot to keep the points from freezing in the winter. Kinda feel a little sorry for Nelson here, it would be nice to see her motion and other fittings put back in place.

I think a point of significance is the working life of this locomotive. If it wasn't retired until the 1940s, that means it had a working life of over 100 years! Granted, not exactly as an engine, but still. I can't think of any other locomotive, especially of that vintage that was in meaningful service that long, in any capacity. All I can think of is Lion, and iirc her service life only ended in 1928, a much shorter time than Nelson. If there's another example, I'd love to hear it.

There's Talyllyn Railway No. 2, which has been going since 1866 with no breaks bar awaiting/undergoing overhauls. Talyllyn No. 1, Talyllyn/Corris No. 3 and some of the England's at the Ffestiniog can't be far behind in terms of working years. Granted each of these engines have ended up like Trigger's broom, but there's still a line of continuity in at least some of the components!

Plug wheels i was always told that Timothy hackworth had came up with that idea and thats also the reason why they feature in the decorative railings around the town of shildon. Snowploughs i wonder what the first recorded use of one was, there development would be an interesting subject.
@AnthonyDawsonHistory
@AnthonyDawsonHistory 2 жыл бұрын
They were first developed by Robert Wilson for his locomotive the four-cylinder "Chittapratt". Hackworth used components from the "Chittapratt" to build his own "Royal George" - including the wheels. So no, Timothy H. is not their progenitor.

@@pendremacherald6758 The level of preservation is really good because the water is so cold. It's an anaerobic environment (no oxygen) which means that most of the usual casues for deay and rot (microbes and bacteria) are not present to cause organic material to decay. Same with other non-ferrous objects such as glass, copper, bronze, brass. Iron however is trickier.Photos from the wreck of Terror still show the 'willowpattern' plates still in the china store, and glass bottles on shelves. The problem, I think, would be getting an R.O.V. deeper into the ship safely to the engineroom.

I think if those records did exist, Drs Bailey and Glithero would have done so. Sadly so many firms have no archive. The mining company records exist, but they don't shed much light. Some locomotive building firms, such as Bury, Curtis & Kennedy of Liverpool have gone without a trace - no records at all. And they also built steam ships!
