Exceptional Duty!
Approaching Rowley Station in Beamish Museum is 1949 0-4-0ST shunting locomotive in NCB livery, built by Andrew Barclay & Sons of Kilmarnock. Unusually it is seen here hauling a type of vehicle that it would never have been anywhere near in it's former existence!
The carriage in question is the magnificently restored Victorian royal railway carriage GER No.5.
The carriage was built in 1898, originally for Princess Alexandra (Princess of Wales and wife of the future King Edward VII) and once came complete with toilets, guards accommodation and pantry facilities.
The locomotive is on loan from the Bowes Railway, Springwell, Tyne & Wear and the carriage is on loan from the Furness Railway Trust.
