The following
photos were passed to Dave Wood for inclusion on the 6G website.
Unfortunately not much detail regarding dates or photographers was
supplied.
However I think the photos are a rare record which justifies their
publication.
The Midland Railway
built a single 0-10-0 engine in 1919, designed by James Clayton,
primarily for banking duties on the Licky Incline.
It was affectionately christened by enthusiasts and railway men as 'Big
Bertha' or 'Big Emma'
It's original number was 2290 then in 1947 22290 and then it was given
it's BR number 58100 in January 1949.
