The Lambton Locomotive Learning Trust exists to promote Learning of the Lambton Hetton and Joicey Collieries Railway and the associated coalfield through the conservation and preservation of two historic locomotives and related artefacts.

 

Locomotive number 29 of 1904 serves as a working ambassador for The Trust, earning income towards its upkeep and heavy repairs and number 5 of 1909. Each locomotive has survived into the twenty first century and represents a tribute to their builders, the staff who used them in their working lives and the vision of the people who saved them form oblivion and have preserved them for generations past present and future.

​

They represent the ‘top end’ of hundreds of hard working but low-profile steam locomotives in the North East Coalfields – the cradle of effective steam locomotion.
