The Engine House at Highley was completed back in 2007 although the storm damage delayed the opening and the installation of the exhibits. The current locos on display are 7325, 80079, 600 Gordon, 4930 Hagley Hall, 47383 and 1000 Midland Compound (courtesy of the NRM). 48773 and 1501 will be installed in the near future. The locos were towed by diesels from Kidderminster to Highley by D8188, D37906 and D73101 'The Royal Alex' (the locos were split into 3 seperate combinations due to weight restrictions) These were shunted at Highley by class 08 D3022 (Filmed on 16/03/08)

  • Were stealing the midland compound for 3 years :) arrives on my line on Tuesday

  • @Kromaatikse Gordon doesn't have very large cylinders, they are the same size as an 8F (same pattern) The snifting valve (only one) is behind the chimney and dings like a bell when coasting. The chuffing sound heard would be air being expelled through the drain cocks, the motion was set in mid-gear, which can be seen at 6:12 - necessary tp prevent the cylinders from creating air pressure in the boiler! The WD 2-10-0s had a power classification of 8F - so not unusually large.

  • Great Video, 5 Stars!

  • @MCCBewdley didnt gordon have a 1ft hole in boiler lol and they filled it with wood?

  • She was working a special and suffered a hot box.

  • Great Video, 5 Stars!

  • No, what?

  • Very good. Also the sound of a Sparrow hawk calling at 0:34!
