Keighley & Worth Valley Railway - Stills of Engines                 Return to Home Page

For anyone going ot visit the KWVR a visit to the museum at Ingrow (West) is a must.  Unfortunately though its not a good place for taking photographs, so this is the best shot I could get of Stainier 8F 2-8-0 48331.  I wasn't aware that any of them were allocated to 81A Old Oak Common, but if you have any information about it please let me know. Again inside the Ingrow Museum British Railways Standard Class 2MT 2-6-0 Mogul.  For more information on the engine visit this link which give a brief history of the engine and main technical details.
One of the engines of the day, BR Standard Class 4MT 2-6-4 Tank engine 80002, takes water on at Keighley before departing for Oxenhope.  For an excellent set of photographs of other engines and scenes visit this link Pannier Tank Engine 0-6-0 No 118 named 'Brussels' from the Longmoor Military Railway.  I'm not sure if it's named after the capital of Belgium or a winter vegetable!
Sir William Stanier's LMS Jubilee 4-6-0 45596 Bahamas.  For more information on the engine visit Simon Robinson's site.  The site provides information on all the 191 Jubilee's and details of the four preserved ones. GWR 0-6-0 Pannier Tank Engine No 5775 in the ubiquitous 'Thomas the Tank Engine' disguise.
On the left LMS 'Jinty' 47279 sits quietly on it's arrival at Oxenhope and is admired by the bystanders.  According to the UK Rail Website in 1948 the Jinty was based at Wellingborough Motive Power Depot (Code 15A)  Bet it was still there when I started to visit in about 1956!
