WD165 photographed in the yard at Kingmoor on 1 August 1959. The ex-WD 0-6-0ST (AB 2183 of 1943) was on its way north to Steeles of Hamilton, from where it was eventually acquired by the Wemyss Private Railway and renumbered 15 see image 6246. Several years later, following a spell in Muir's yard in Thornton, the locomotive was purchased for preservation. It is currently undergoing a scheduled overhaul on the East Lancashire Railway, where it carries the name Earl David.
