    The search facility is quite useful for finding what is where ;) Or you can visit the following websites > http://www.northumbria-rail.co.uk/ & http://www.daveshell.fotopic.net/

    There are now 3 PCTs, 2 PPCs and a Matisa trolley in the way of OTP on site, along with a Atlas 1302D and a 12t hand crane. There are also a couple of Ruston shunters, 2 mk 2s, a mk 1 and a ballast hopper.

    The equipment is gradually being restored and returned to use. We (Northumbria Rail) are heavily involved in the Aln Valley Railway project, and the OTP will see use in the construction phases
