Robinson This Fowler locomotive was built back in 1946, being works number 4100003, and previously having worked for Croda Hydrocarbons, Rotherham. H.W.Robinson is seen here shortly before being transferred to the Railway. It is a very small locomotive, as the engine is only 80hp, but this small 0-4-0DM has proved useful in the past, and H.W. Robinson is currently the Signal and Telegraph department's locomotive. However, it is in need of a repaint. If you would like to volunteer to do this sort of work, see our volunteering page, and get in touch with the railway to help restore this loco to a smart livery. The picture at the top of the page shows it hauling a few wagons into Embsay Station under the footbridge which was being rebuilt in the late 80s. Just visible in the sidings in the background are the recently arrived Class 14 and the chassis of The Bug. A 'new' gearbox has been acquired for this loco (see photo), and will be fitted at the same time as the rest of the work is carried out on this loco - probably the next project for the D&P department. It will require substantial amounts of attention to the bodywork as well as a repaint, possibly following the completion of the work on 36. VOLUNTEERS would be greatly appreciated... More photos of H.W.Robinson at Embsay H.W.Robinson was employed as a shunting loco upon arrival at Embsay. Seen here with the majority of the wagons on site at the time, heading out of the (now) carriage sidings past the signalbox. (c) Charles Adams. The new gearbox arrived at the railway along with a chunk of the main frames of the donor loco which were removed. The two gearboxes will then have the best parts combined, and any other usable parts placed into store as spares. (c) Tim Warner.
