Both good with great exposure and detail, but #1 for me... 'ugly' or not... beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Rare to see pics of the unsung heroes of the railway world - and good 'uns they are too.

Thanks Lee and Nigel !

It may not be famous as some of the other Heritage Lines but the Tanfield Railway is well worth a visit .
It actually brings back Childhood memories for me , i was brought up in a North East Pit Village in the 60's and we had engines like Ugly running at the bottom of our back lane , i found some old photos on Flickr showing the engines , they can be seen on my 'Faves' Page part of the way down

Would I be right in thinking the green saddle tank is a Hunslet? It's been nagging me as to why it looks a familiar design.
