B13 No.234 A fascinating survivor on the Normanton-Croydon Railway |
No.234 was delivered new to the isolated Normanton - Croydon Railway in 1892. The original boiler was sent to the Clarina pump in approx 1913 where it remains derelict. A second boiler was transferred to sister loco No. 161 in 1925. (35)
Today the complete frames, wheels & tender of No.234 remain at Normanton. This loco is an example of the long-wheelbase B13 design.
