Construction of Locomotive No. 3 Commenced

The Wardrobe Railway locomotive works has started construction of locomotive No. 3 which is to be called 'Hannah'.  Based on a Hudswell Clarke design the locomotive is of a similar size and power to No. 2 but under increasing pressure from the train drivers union, the Board have agreed to provide a covered cab on No. 3.  Crews have been complaining of getting 'wet and cold' when manning No. 2.

Some photographs of construction are included here.
