Notes
[edit]1. Two articulated Hunslet Engine 0-4-4-0DM diesel locomotives were supplied to the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich: Albert in 1934 (scrapped in 1961) and Carnegie in 1954. Carnegie was later sold, subsequently rescued and moved to the Bicton Woodland Railway in 1966.[3] She then moved to the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills[4] and thence to the Statfold Barn Railway.[5]
