List of preserved British industrial steam locomotives

Over one hundred industrial tank engines have survived into preservation, from over ten different manufacturers, ranging from small to big numbers. Most of these locomotives were bought for preservation from industrial service or private use.

Source:^[2]

Over forty Andrew Barclay tank engines survived into preservation. The oldest survivor being No. 699 Swanscombe built in 1891. These lists might not contain every single locomotive preserved. Many 0-4-0 saddle tanks of small size have been preserved.^[3] Many preserved AB&SC locomotives have been preserved in several numbers at the Ribble Steam Railway, Tanfield Railway, Scottish Industrial Railway Centre and Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway. Only notable locomotives with a sizeable amount of information and/or a known recent/current status will be included. Many of these locomotives have been named after where they worked.

Withdrawn from MSC service in 1962 by ICI for use at Blackley, where it was given the name The Lady Armaghdale which was carried by the Hawthorn Leslie locomotive it replaced. Withdrawn in 1968, The Lady Armaghdale was preserved in 1969 and moved to the Severn Valley Railway. The locomotive had been disguised as Thomas the Tank Engine for relevant events in the 2000s before withdrawal in 2009, now on static display.[75]
No. 1873 Jessie	0-6-0ST		Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway	Built in 1937 for the Guest Keen & Baldwins Iron & Steel Company, where it was put to work in the East Moors works in Cardiff, being number 18 in their fleet. Withdrawn in 1965, it was put on display by the Council of Cardiff, at which point subject to vandalism before being sold by its then owners sold it to a member of the Dean Forest Railway. During the locomotive's restoration, it moved to Llangollen where restoration was completed in 2003. The locomotive was converted to a side tank during its next overhaul so it could run as Thomas the Tank Engine for events; these changes were reverted in 2019 by which point the locomotive was added to the fleet of the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway.[76][77]
No. 3782 Arthur	0-6-0ST		Buckinghamshire Railway Centre	Built in 1953 for the National Coal Board to a 1923 design. It was deployed to Markham Main Colliery where it worked up until 1976, being the last Doncaster-based NCB steam locomotive in operation. Arthur jumped from several private collections after preservation in 1976 before it wound up in the care of the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre in 1979. It was stored at the site awaiting an overhaul, until one was reported to have been making progress in December 2022.[78]

Out of all industrial Kitson & Co designs, one of their locomotive constructions were their long-boiler pannier tank locomotives built in the 1880s, originally a Stephenson design, with some working at Barrow Steel and two long boiler locomotives are believed to have worked at Dowlais Ironworks in Wales as No. 34 'Lord Wimbourne',^[79][80] one of which, No. 5 of 1883, survives today. Many other industrial Kitson locomotives survive, another well-known one being Lambton Railway 0-6-2T No. 29 of 1904.

No. 807	Oxford & Aylesbury Tramroad 0-4-0WT		Buckinghamshire Railway Centre	Built in 1872 by Aveling and Porter. Purchased for the opening of the Oxford & Aylesbury Tramroad and ran for 22 years until withdrawal from the then-Brill Tramway and sale to Blisworth and Stowe Brick & Tile Co. 807 was stored from 1940 to 1950 when purchased by the Industrial Locomotive Society. It was cosmetically restored by London Transport to its former glory, eventually moving to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden before it put on loan to the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre when the former site underwent refurbishment, and has remained there, now on static display.[89]
No. 110 Burgundy	London, Brighton & South Coast Railway Class E1 0-6-0T		Isle of Wight Steam Railway	Built in 1877 at Brighton Works. Renumbered B110 by the SR in 1923. Withdrawn from service in 1927 and sold to Cannock and Rugeley Colliery Company and the boiler replaced with a WG Bagnall boiler.

In 2011, 110 was cosmetically restored and painted in a fictitious British Railways black livery and numbered 32110 before being moved to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. It is undergoing an assessment for a major overhaul and has been given the identity W2 Yarmouth, the name worn by one of the E1s that operated on the original line in 1932.[90]

Significant maintenance was undertaken on 752 to ready it for participation in the Rail 150 Celebrations in May 1980. It was withdrawn from service in 1982 at 101 years old. Restoration work started in July 2016 at the East Lancashire Railway. An agreement between the ELR and the owners mean that No. 752 will operate on the East Lancs primarily and make visits to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway too. It is appropriate as Class 23s operated at Castleton performing shunting. The locomotive was hoped to be in steam by 2020.
