The latest locomotive swap at Rowley has taken place:

Sir Cecil Cochrane, a 1948 built 0-4-0ST by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns, has arrived from the Tanfield Railway and will be operating every weekend until the 5th September. It arrived on Sunday night aboard John Antell’s low-loader which then took Furness 20 to the Bluebell Railway on the Monday morning as these views show…

Below: Cochrane, arrived on Beamish rails.

Below: Furness 20 reverses onto Cochrane in order to shunt it to the shed.

Below: An unusual pairing!

Below: Furness 20 on Monday morning as it heads through our Town street on its way to Sussex.
