This 0-6-0 saddle tank no.813 was built for the Port Talbot Railway & Docks Company by Hudswell Clarke of Leeds. It had entered service with the Port Talbot Railway & Docks Company in 1901.

The Great Western Railway from 1908 maintained the Port Talbot Railway & Docks Company's locos. In 1922 the GWR took over the Port Talbot Railway & Docks Company. It was later sold to Robert Stephenson & Company who then sold it on to Backworth Collieries Limited in Northumberland. These Collieries became part of NCB.

The Bluebell Railway

The Bluebell Railway was the first standard gauge railways to to be reopened by as a preserved railway in the UK. It ran only from Sheffield Park to the small Bluebell Halt at first. Then for a number of years it ran between Sheffield Park station and Horsted Keynes. Trains then used to run from Sheffield Park to Kingscote.

Trains are now able to run to a new Bluebell station next to the East Grinstead main line station, now that the work to clear the Imberhorne cutting is done. The cutting was filled with household waste from East Grinstead, after the line was closed.

This now gives the Bluebell railway a mainline connection

This website is Ukrailways1970tilltoday.me.uk it is on railways but it is not just on trains but all things railways, with photos, which I have taken from the 1970s till now. I take photos of all things railways, steam diesel and electric trains, signal boxes, wagons any thing that is on the National Rail network, which was BR when I started taken photos.
