KWVR Haworth wheeldrop

Austerity 90733 stood in on Thursday for the failed
BR Std 4 75073


The wheel drop at Haworth yard has just been 
completely over hauled and inspected by the insurers 


It was originally at Hammerton St depot in Bradford


It was badly waterlogged the Christmas before 
last in the floods we suffered


However after over haul and survey it is now back
in action


I am told it was designed to take a Sterling 8ft
It had many A1 A2 and A3's during its time at
Hammerton St as they cam over from Copley 
Hill for wheel, axle and bearing work


Undoubtedly an asset to the railway


75078 is shunted over the drop for the bogie work
