English: The winding engine from Swannington incline, on the Leicester and Swannington Railway, preserved at the National Railway Museum, York, England.
It was manufactured by The Horsely Coal & Iron Company in 1833 for hauling wagons of coal from the mines up the 1-in-17 (5.9%) Swannington incline. The engine is a horizontal type with single cylinder of 18.25 in. bore and 3 ft. 6 in. stroke which worked at 80 lb per sq in. The engine was unusual for the time in having a piston valve. Swannington incline was operated until 1948 and the engine was donated by British Railways to York Railway Museum in 1951. References Clinker, C.R.
