Locomotive Details:-

This diesel mechanical locomotive of the �Tiny Tim� class was built to replace pit ponies in collieries. It was constructed in 1958, by the Hunslet Engine Co., Leeds, as works No. 5222. This class of locomotive was never successful in the United Kingdom, but many were exported. This is the only original locomotive of three known survivors in the U.K.. It was based at Alston on loan from the Ayle Colliery Company, Alston, from 1989 until 2004.

The locomotive is fitted with a 15 h.p., 2-cylinder Enfield air-cooled diesel engine, with Hunslet clutch, driving a single speed gearbox. The final drive is by coupling rods, giving a maximum speed of 3 mph and tractive effort of 955 lbs (433 kg).
