Ex Kibblesworth Drift. Severely damaged by fire in 2008, rebuilt at Stanegate Restorations 2009-2010. On loan from Bowes Railway for Railfest 2012. This was used to shunt the sidings at Kibblesworth Drift. The 'Drift' was on a slope and therefore could be shunted by a rope. Fitted with a platform for the shunter to ride on at one side of the front rope end, and a gong mechanism worked off the wheel at the other side. This wagon was loaded with scrap to increase its weight to enable it to run down to the sidings. |
