Bauxite

Bauxite is a rare survivor, a tank engine only ever in industrial use, preserved over sixty years ago and left largely as it was when it ceased working at a chemical plant at Hebburn near the Tyne. It was built in 1875 by Black Hawthorn in Gateshead.
You can see this engine at the National Railway Museum, Leeman Road, York.
