Moor Green Octopod

The eight wheel Sentinels were the least successful in the Sentinel / Rolls Royce range. The NCB had two at Moor Green. Here, D12 (Rolls Royce 10178 of 1964) uses its 544hp to lift a rake of mgr fulls out of the colliery towards Langley Mill Jct. Both were scrapped after just 20 years service when the colliery closed.
