The All At Sea Train Pages. The Class 6A - 462 Locomotive at Millsite
|
This veteran locomotive waits its turn for preservation at Millsite. Her age is plainly visible in the almost Edwardian look that she has. Sadly, like so many other locos at Millsite, her fate is always in the balance. Built around 1897, she is well over a century old, and if you look at her condition its difficult to say how viable she would be to preserve.
