Nice video. Thumbs up!

Fascinating!

What an unusual fate for these engines. Part cut up yet done in a way to leave a Dali style memorial.

Hat! Of all the locomotives in all the World, they came from your own back yard. Beyer-Peacocks were excellent locomotives. I was wondering if one of their locos at Uyuni could be brought home. Even with many parts missing, they remain an interesting evolutionary variant among steam beasties.. B-P were copying the ideas of Kitson's of Leeds. See D. Binns book 'Kitson Meyer Articulated Locomotives' p40 for how they looked new. Maybe you did this already!

Locomotive at 0:46 is a very rare and important historic relic worth saving, even in its poor condition. Built 1913 in Manchester by Beyer-Peacock Ltd. to a special design called a 'Kitson-Meyer' and designed to run in a 'cab forwards' configuration with the chimney and then the fuel tender following next to the coaches. Originally it was coal fired and workers had to carry sacks of coal from the tender, past the chimney, along the running boar to the cab in front....dangerous and difficult!

Thanks for the info on the train. I did a bit more digging and discovered that it was built just around the corner from me in Gorton! Like they say a small world.
