Ashington System / Blyth and Tyne area Locomotives and Rolling Stock in Preservation - Please help!

Just out of interest for us at ABTRA, I was looking to compile a fairly comprehensive list of locos & rolling stock surviving in preservation that would have worked on the Blyth and Tyne area systems? Got some obvious candidates such as 49 & the two 38's at Tanfield. Would be interesting in making contacts if and when our plans come to something (fingers crossed!) thanks in advance! Ryan.

ABTRA? New acronym to me - could you 'flesh out', please?

 

'ave a look at this website / link

We have a Ashington Colliery wagon at Bowes. Used by the NCB for testing weighbridges.

 

@ryan.hogg1890 - I believe that the NER sold off carriages to the colliery systems for "The Marsden Rattler" and similar services.

Try NER 818 for a start ...

'Austerity' 0-6-0ST RSH7097 of 1943 was at the Strathspey Railway at one time; may be still there?
It was an Ashington, Burradon and Backworth NCB loco and worked over BR B&T metals, in steam, on 6 April 1972.

I believe the Stephenson Railway Museum in North Tyneside have a couple of Ashington Colliery steam locos in operation.

 

Various class 14 diesels. I think most of those preserved either came from Corby or Ashington.

 

It's the 'Ashington, Blyth and Tyne Railway Association' our website is here if you'd like to take a better look: https://sites.google.com/view/abtra/home

Not sure, is there a 37 thread on here so I can enquire?

Thanks - rather far north of me to have come to my attention!
