    Yes, Andrew Barclay built them. Very nice pictures too. Which NEGB gasworks did they work at? I dont recognise the location.

    Huddersfield Gas Works had two Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST's, both delivered here when new. No.1 was AB 1726/1922 and No.2 was AB 1783/1922.
    They were joined by a Fowler diesel in 1962. No.1 was scrapped in 11/1965 and No.2 was scrapped c12/1966. Rail traffic to the gas works ceased in 3/1966.
