Hi all,
I'm Sam Bentley, married to Rich Bentley of Mid-Hants and the Old Kiln Light Railway.
I'm currently working on my diesel loco. Hudson Hunslet 1944 'Sam', giving her a complete overhaul and am looking for any info anyone might like to share.
She was built in 1939 at the Ashford works in Kent, and has her original 20hp Ailsa Craig engine. Up until C1970 she worked at the steel rolling mill in Enfield, but I don't know when she went there, or whether she went anywhere else prior to this. In C1970 she worked for the Basingstoke Canal Society, for removing spoil from the canal.
If antone has any info I would be very grateful, from engine info to photos to the type of plates she may have had.
Thanks for reading, I really hope someone out there knows something!
