0-4-0 on wagon outside NRM - ID please?

[Graeme]

Hello

Whilst passing the NRM at York on the train on a couple of occasions recently I've noticed a green 0-4-0 sitting on a low wagon on the sidings next to the main line at the museum. Firebox, cab, frames and wheels seemingly all present but awaiting restoration? Would anyone know which particular locomotive this is?

Is it not a narrow gauge loco as I remember that there was one on a low loader if that helps.

Could this perchance be the loco in question, Graeme? Looks like a Manning Wardle by the general shape of the tank as each of the makers had their own "House style." Granted there were exceptions i.e. the Austerity [LNER J94] saddle tank, a Hunslet design which was mass produced by all the makers, with slight difference with regards to fittings.

Hi Graeme,

It's 3ft gauge 0-4-0ST Handyman .

According to the The Sciene Museum's Collections pages http://collection.sciencemuseum.org...tive-handyman-0-4-0st-no-573-steam-locomotive:

"Steam locomotive, No 573, 'Handyman', 0-4-0ST, 3' gauge, made by Hudswell Clarke, Leeds, 1900. Length 18'6", width 5'9", height 9'5".
"Handyman is a 3ft gauge 0-4-0 saddle tank built in 1900 by Hudswell Clarke in Leeds for the Burton Ironstone Company in Northamptonshire. It spent its working life moving ironstone at various quarries in the area before ending up at Scaldwell Quarry which ceased operations in 1963.
"Handyman was then bought by a group of enthusiasts who saved it from being scrapped, but the locomotive was never fully restored and was eventually acquired by the National Railway Museum in 2008. It is an example of the many thousands of small industrial steam locomotives that worked on privately owned railway systems at factories, mines and industrial sites all around the country."

Hope this helps

Yes thanks to you all, that's it. The saddle seems to have been removed as it's not fitted at present but it's the same locomotive.
