A short SD video of Peckett & Sons 0-6-0ST locomotive number 2150 built in 1954 slogging up the 1 in 19 bank out of Foxfield Colliery in July 2004.
The locomotive, one of the most powerful locomotives of its type, acquired the nickname the 'Mardy Monster', having spent all of its industrial working life at Mardy Colliery in South Wales. It was withdrawal from service in 1976.
The locomotive, now at a private site, was last steamed in 2014.

Many thanks to Richard Newton (3P20 Charters) and the Foxfield Railway staff for organising this event.
