A mineral wagon train is departing from the terminal station. This movement released a steam locomotive from the other end to take the passenger train on the other line back to base. The locomotive is Holly Bank No. 3. This is Hunslet 0-6-0ST No. 3783 of 1953 and built for the NCB as Darfield No. 1 for use in Yorkshire. She is currently carrying the nameplate Holly Bank No. 3 in memory of a local pit that had three similar engines.
