Kept in superb condition. This 0-6-0 side tank engine was built by Hudswell Clarke & Co Ltd in Leeds to an order by G & T Earle Ltd.  At a cost of £2860, and with works number 1704, it was completed during December 1938 displaying its name Nunlow.

 

The engine took its name from Nun Low, the hill that was excavated to became Pindale Quarry. Bought for  £500 by the Bahamas Locomotive Society, the engine moved to the then recently opened Dinting Railway Centre near Glossop. Following the closure of the Dinting Railway Centre in 1990 Nunlow spent the summer on loan to the Swanage Railway in Dorset.  It then moved to the Society’s new home on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway where, following the completion of the Society’s museum at Ingrow in May 2003, it became one of the major exhibits.

The engine is currently operational and may occasionally be seen in action on the KWVR.
