North Eastern Railway T.W. Worsdell Class "H" (LNER Class "Y7") 0-4-0T No.1310 (LNER No.1310N) in NER Saxony Green livery on the Barrow Hill shuttle, 04/12. What a gem of a little loco! Built at the NER Works at Gateshead 1891 to an 1888 design for dock and yard shunting where there were very tight curves and sub-standard track. It was a simple design of the bare essentials - but proved ideal for their work and were built up to 1923 (the last batch by the LNER) and remained in BR sewrvice until 1952. However, half the class were sold into colliery/industrial use from 1933 onwards, including No.1310 which went to Pelaw Main Collieries Ltd in 1931 and it became NCB No.64 in 1949. It was sold for preservation as late as 1965 - a hard working life of 74 years!
