Delivering the Coal
Foxfield Railway was built in 1893 to serve the colliery at Dilhorne on the Cheadle Coalfield North Saffordshire. Tackling the formidable 1:19 to 1:26 gradient out of the colliery site at Dilhorne is Robert Stephenson & Hawthorne's Saddle Tank 62 Ugly. (They became known as Uglies due to their short saddle tanks and larger fireboxes. These give them a somewhat ungainly appearance, but they are a more powerful locomotive than the Hunslet Austerities) (Wikipedia)
