It was a beautiful day. At Brinsley pit the white steam melted slowly in the sunshine of a soft blue sky; the wheels of the headstocks twinkled high up; the screen, shuffling its coal into the trucks, made a busy noise.

The two-axle bogies, of Metro-Vick swing-link type, are of one-piece cast-steel construction with box-section side frames and headstocks.
