Griff Colliery: misc_gc024

View of 0-4-0ST Barclay No 1167 'Success' at Griff No 4 pit on 9th June 1952 prior to rebuilding. Compare the cab in this view with that fitted after overhaul as seen in image 'misc_gc031' and 'misc_gc023'. This locomotive was fitted with outside cylinders and was obtained new from Andrew Barclay in 1909 and together with 'Bobs', 'Britannia' and 'Good Luck' were to remain the mainstay of motive power at Griff until nationalisation.
