railway heritage update Bo'ness July 2023

This is some video footage that I filmed at my local heritage railway, the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway in the month of July 2023 just to keep you all up to date on what's happening. Please folks try and keep supporting all your local heritage railways and please show your loyal railway support with a thumbs up.
Some History :-
0-6-0ST National Coal Board Area 7 East Fife No.19
Built 1954, Hunslet Engine Co., Leeds. Austerity design. Works No.3818.
The locomotive was supplied new to the NCB Area 7 (East Fife) at the Michael Colliery. It was overhaued at the Central Workshops, Dysart, in 1965, then returned to the Michael. After the disaster there, it was transferred to Wellesley Coal Preparation Plant where it remained until 1971, when it made its final move in NCB service to Comrie Colliery.
At the end of the War, seventy five of the 0-6-0ST austerity locomotives passed to the British main line railways, and others were absorbed into industrial service. Further examples, like Nos.5 and 19 at Bo'ness, were built later, in the 1950s. There are four examples in all at Bo'ness, all of which were used by the National Coal Board in Scotland. These are No.17 (built by Hunslet in 1943), No.7 (built by W.G.Bagnall in 1945), No.19 (built by Hunslet in 1954) and No.5 (built by Hunslet in 1955).

Glad you enjoyed it Kenneth, and yes the engine crew really do make an effort to let passengers and their children have a lovely day

Very nice to see the loco crew welcoming people onto the footplate for selfies

[@ecksfilesbonyuk8]

Indeed great to see loco crews welcoming our visitors onto the footplate for selfies, but the loco crews must protect visitors from touching any hot parts inside the cab

No.19 valve timing was a straight forward set up compared to No.7 which needed lots of shims to get it right. Fond memories.😊
