Andrew Barclay 1147/1908 ‘John Howe’133 viewsThe loco was ordered in 1908 by Howe’s Plaster Works, to work between the private sidings (Howes Sidings Box) on the Settle & Carlisle near Cumwhinton, in Cumberland (as it was then), and their works at Cocklakes. This private branch contained quite a severe gradient up to the works – of which little trace is left today. Howes Plaster Works later became “Carlisle Plaster Co” and later part of British Gypsum.
In the early 1970’s Steamtown in Carnforth were looking to obtain some smaller locos that were more econmical to use than main line machines, to operate their footplate rides.
The loco was purchased along with a number of sister locos, and was taken to Steamtown, Carnforth for preservation. They had been stored in a shed for a number of years, and it is recalled how thick the white Gypsum dust covering the engines was before they left.
Upon arrival at Carnforth, the loco received attention to the boiler, and was painted in Campbeltown & Machrihanish North British livery.
The holes below the existing buffers previously house a set of secondary buffers that would match up with the small wooden wagons that were used in Cocklakes.
The loco ran at Carnforth for a number of years, and being re-restored at RSR operated regularly up to the end of the 2013 season. It was loaned to Beamish in 2014 and then returned once again to Galas on our line in 2014 and 2015. It is currently out of traffic once again…. (It featured on Preston Flag market on July 4th 2015 for a Marketing Day)
