Hunslet Engine's busy Spring

摘要

Hunslet Engine has been very busy in recent months, and in the middle of June the first rebuilt locomotive was completed for Lafarge Cement, Dunbar.rnThis was originally Hunslet 8979 built in 1979, but it has now had a complete rebuild - it was taken down to the last nut and bolt before being rebuilt with a new 400hp Caterpillar engine and a brand new remote control system. The loco moved to the Chasewater Railway for trials before heading North to Scotland. It has received a new rebuild plate - Hunslet Engine 9373, and has also been named Black Agnes -I assume the name is associated with the Dunbar Area and if anybody can shed any light on this name please let me know.
