Steelman 38
Approaching Featherbed Lane in Little Oakley with fulls from Oakley Quarry is Steelman 38 (Rolls Royce 10274 of 1968). The "Steelman" was developed as a replacement for the steam fleet but the availability of a large number of cheap BR diesels (the D9500 class) put an end to this project, and, apart from a few isolated examples, the development of the British industrial locomotive.
38 left Corby for Tarmac at Wirksworth in 1980.
