Summary[edit]
DescriptionWissington steam light steam engine name plate.jpg |
English: Wissington is a Countess of Warwick design steam locomotive built in 1938 by Hudswell Clarke of Leeds, commissioned by the British Sugar Corporation. It had a relatively lightweight axle load of approximately 8 tons. Wissington spent most of its working life at the Wissington Sugar factory in Norfolk, with a brief spell at a factory in Spalding, Lincolnshire. As diesel shunters arrived and more traffic was transferred to the roads in the 1970s, Wissington became a spare. In the early 1970s, it was kept in storage until 1978, when it became the last steam locomotive in commercial ownership in East Anglia. The M&GNJRS took notice of Wissington and took it to the North Norfolk Railway for preservation. After a cosmetic restoration, the engine remained on static display at Sheringham. By the late 1990s, restoration on Wissington was well underway, and by the mid-2000s, the boiler work was also well underway. In 2010, the engine was steamed back into life for the first time in many years. In 2012, the engine passed its steam insurance examination and shortly after, for the first time in over 50 years, the engine left the North Norfolk Railway on loan for the Mid Suffolk Light Railway. Wissington returned to the North Norfolk Railway in 2013 for the steam gala and was used for shunting and freight movements. During 2018, the locomotive was based at the Colne Valley Railway until the June, when it moved to Beamish Museum for a three-month period. The locomotive spent some time on loan at the Mid Suffolk Railway and returned to the North Norfolk Railway in January 2024. |
