Summary
[edit]DescriptionHunslet 2855 (8405440829).jpg | Ministry of Supply "Austerity" type 18" 0-6-0ST, Hunslet No.2855 of 1943 (rebuilt 1953 by ? with a Works No.1725) - only the 7th of it's type to be completed; it was War Department No.75006 (which it carried all it's life!) and post war went to the National Coal Board (Opencast Executive) at Llanharan Disposal Point as No.L1 (also carried all it's life), following which it was later transferred to NCB-OE Onllwyn, where this (scanned) photograph was taken with a Kowa SET, New Year's Day, 1969. It is now preserved. Intended for use by the WD at military sites, open cast coal and disposal points and collaries inn the UK and with the armed forces abroad, both during and after the war, the "Austerities" were designed by R.A. Riddles of the M.o.S and Hunslet. They were essentially a development of Hunslet's 18" "48150" and "50550" 0-6-0ST's, with changes in materials and detail design to aid production and minimise use of strategic materials. They were had a life expectancy of 2 years of, admittedly arduous, service but many lasted until the end of industrial steam in the UK in the 1970's. They were extremely rugged and reliable and could operate with minimum maintenance. | |||||||||||||
