Heysham No.2

Andrew Barclay 1950 1928 Museum Exhibition RSR

Delivered new to the Liverpool Corporation in 1928, the loco was later transferred to Lancaster Power Station in 1966, until moving to it's final place of work, Heysham Powerstation in 1971.  The availability of high pressure steam meant that the fireless locomotive was a very efficient method of traction.  The locomotive spent a number of years on display at Southport after being delivered on long term loan in 1993, before moving with the collection to Riversway, arriving on 1st April 1999.

The loco completed a full cosmetic restoration in 2006, and is currently exhibited in the museum building.  Heysham No.2 is virtually identical to the locomotive "Duke" - which used to work at Preston Docks.
