As it used to be: No. 12, Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns Ltd 18 x 24in outside cylinder 7845 of 1955, was in action at the Central Electricity Generating Board Hams Hall generating stations near Coleshill in Warwickshire on Sunday 24 March 1963.
Built in 1955 by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns, Moorbarrow began its working life with the National Coal Board at Backworth Colliery, where it proudly wore a smart royal blue livery and carried the number 47. It later moved to Whittle Colliery before being preserved in 1973.
The name Moorbarrow was adopted during a visit to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway - a nod to the fictional name of Goathland Station in Pat Wilson’s books and plays.
