Kitson & Co. 0-6-0T A Nº5 (1883)
An 0-6-0 side tank built in 1883 by Kitson and Co. to the Stephenson 'long boiler' design for the Consett Iron and Steel Company. She worked there, shunting in the extensive railway system around the works.She ended her industrial life in 1972 at Derwenthaugh Coke Works. After withdrawal, she was taken into the care of Beamish Museum and then to Tyne & Wear Museums Service at Monkwearmouth Station, Sunderland. At this location, the Monkwearmouth Station. Museum Association (the former name of the North Tyneside Steam Railway Association) was established and its members, in very basic conditions, began overhauling a very derelict loco. The deteriorating condition of the building prompted a move to the former Tyneside Metro system test track facility at Middle Engine Lane, West Chirton, North Shields.
A5 passed her steam test & had her safety valves set on the 3rd April 2014.
