The restoration work was carried out by a small team of Moseley Railway Trust members, and this has brought the locomotive to the superb condition in which it can now be seen at Apedale. In April 2015, the Stanhope family and Colin Laidler were able to come to Apedale and see the Hudswell Clarke steam locomotive at work.
Phil Robinson, Moseley Railway Trust Chairman said – It was a real privilege to host the visit by the Stanhope family and Colin Laidler. The restoration of this locomotive has been a huge team effort. Without the combined effort and commitment of Colin, the Stanhope family, and all the Moseley Railway Trust members who worked on the locomotive, this historic machine would still be a silent hulk rather than the immaculate working machine we have today. It will stand as a lasting testimony to all those people, and also a fitting memorial for Terry Stanhope
The 1916 Hudswell Clarke will be in operation at the Apedale Valley Light Railway’s forthcoming Locos from Leeds Gala on May 16 & 17. This event will celebrate locomotives built by the Leeds manufacturers. A sister Hudswell Clarke steam locomotive will be visiting the railway, and there will be a wide range of attractions for all – railway enthusiasts and all the family!
