Description

This is an electric locomotive from 1905! It was built by British Thomson Houston (Rugby) and Brush(Loughborough). The Newcastle Quayside Railway was unsuited to steam working due to its long curving tunnels and steep gradients.
Photographed at Shildon.

That is actually quite handsome compared to the electrics these days. Might actually build a model similar to this engine.
