Dubs loco
No one can fail to see the splendid full-size loco at the entrance to our site. This is a 3ft 6in gauge "A" Class 4-8-2 tank engine built by the Dubs works (later the North British) in Glasgow in 1900 for the Natal Government Railway in South Africa. It later became South African Railways No 196. It was brought back from South Africa to the UK by the North British Locomotive Preservation Group in 2011 and we are proud to have provided some support for this project and a home for the loco at Mizens Railway. |
