Great bit of film that brought back many memories. As a schoolboy I was taught to drive this loco when it arrived brand new at the newly laid Agecroft Power Station sidings. The four dead end sidings to the North of Agecroft Road into the loading point from Agecroft colliery were built on a steep slope down to the buffer stops. Agecroft No 1 and No 2 had a maximum load of six full waggons on these sidings and they struggled with those as they lifted them up to the exchange sidings on the South side of Agecroft Road.
