Hawthorn Leslie 0-4-0ST number 3581 "Marston, Thompson & Evershed No 3" built in 1924 is seen blasting up the 1 in 19 bank out of the colliery with a short rake of mineral wagons at the Foxfield Railway, UK. This was the first train to use the bank since pre-Covid times.
Many thanks to Richard Newton of 3P20 Charters for organising the photo charter and also to the staff at the Foxfield Railway for making it happen.
