Wensleydale Railway has received an industrial diesel locomotive on a long term loan.
The long-term loan of the industrial diesel locomotive was granted by Hope Cement Works in Derbyshire, a cement manufacturing operation which opened in 1929. The Sentinel diesel locomotive was constructed in 1964 and is fitted with a Rolls Royce eight-cylinder engine. The locomotive is set to join Wensleydale Railway. A preliminary copy of Sentinel diesel locomotive was built and ready for trial runs on the former Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway in early 1959.
It was used to move cement waggons from the Hope Cement Works to a private branch line to ‘Earles Sidings’ on the Network Rail mainline before transportation and was named ‘Derwent’ during its service.
