The engine, which has faithfully served at St. Anthony's Tar Works in Newcastle, is now embarking on a new chapter of its life. With his gloved hands firmly gripping the controls and wearing a proud smile beneath his hat, Driver Bill Barker exudes pure joy and excitement for this momentous occasion. As he stands beside the magnificent steam-powered machine, ready for departure, it is evident that he shares an unbreakable bond with this faithful companion. The atmosphere surrounding this scene is filled with anticipation and admiration from both railway enthusiasts and members of the public alike.
