The Barclay is a small 0-6-0T tank engine currently preserved and running on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway.
History[]
Built in 1911 by the Caledonian Works the locomotive was delivered to the Carron Iron Company, Falkirk and given locomotive number 14, where it worked until 1947.
It was given the new designation of number 10 and spent the remainder of the 1960s working between the Michael Colliery and Wellesley Colliery in Fife.
In 1972 the locomotive was retired from service and sold for scrap to Thomas Muir Metal Merchants, who moved it to their Thornton yard in Fife for a short while before being put into longer term storage, with four other Andrew Barclay locomotives, at their yard in Kirkaldy.
For the next 30 years the locomotive was totally neglected, until 2004 when, despite its appearance, it was purchased and moved to the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway for restoration. Work was intensive but 19 months later, repainted in an eye-catching Caledonian Blue livery, it steamed to Lakeside for the first time.
As of today the locomotive is still running on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway.
