4979 Wootton Hall
4979 was built at Swindon, February 1930. Its first shed allocation was Plymouth Laira and after 32 years of service it ended up at Oxford. During this time it was allocated to sheds in Penzance, Tyseley, Severn Tunnel Junction, Cardiff Canton, and ended its days in the London Division of the Western Region of British Railways, based at Southall, Reading, Didcot and finally Oxford in July 1958. It was used for a variety of duties including fast passenger service and freight.
It was withdrawn from service in December 1963 and acquired by Woodham Brothers for scrap in June 1964. It was sold to Fleetwood Locomotive Centre in Lancashire, and left as the 179th departure from Barry in October 1986.
Once at Fleetwood, little was done to the locomotive, and it was word went round it was up for sale in early 1994. In 1994 it was purchased by the Furness Railway Trust and stored at Lytham Motive Power Museum. There had been a feeling that the fleet lacked a large tender engine, and this purchase filled that gap.
In March 2007 it was moved to a new storage site at the Appleby Heritage Centre where preventative maintenance has been carried out prior to full restoration.

4965 was built at Swindon February 1930, and was one of 258 Hall 4900 class steam locomotives constructed.
This locomotive was previously identified as 4983 Albert Hall, having been rebuilt in 1962 using parts from both original engines Albert Hall and Rood Ashton Hall. Both locomotives had their numbers stamped onto their respective parts. The purchasing group of enthusiasts thought they were buying 4983 Albert Hall but after later restoration discovered some of the parts had been stamped 4965 and some 4983. Rood Ashton Hall now has plates and numbers on one side that say 4983 Albert Hall for enthusiasts to see once again but still hauls Rood Ashton Hall’s original tender. Albert Hall’s original tender was a large Collett tender, so the only incarnation of 4983 Albert Hall and tender is Hornby’s tri-ang model.
