Vintage diesel

Perhaps not getting the same levels of attention as the steam locomotives, the oldest working diesel-electric loco in the world, No.2 shunts the yard at Marley Hill

 

Number 2 (Armstrong Whitworth D22 of 1933) is one of a batch of six 100hp locomotives built by Armstrong Whitworth in 1933. Two are preserved at Tanfield and the best know example operated on the North Sunderland Railway which linked Chathill on the ECML and Seahouses on the Northumberland coast.
