HC D1075 / 1959

Seemingly long forgotten, former Manchester Ship Canal locomotive 4001 moulders away at Winfields of Haslingden. This loco was built by Hudswell Clarke & Co. of Leeds and was powered by a 430 b.h.p. National Gas & Oil Engine Co. power unit. The MSC bestowed the name "Alnwick Castle" on the loco. It's sister, 4002 (HC D1076 / 1959) is still in service on the East Lancashire Railway. Many of the parts from 4001 have found their way onto the working survivor.
