Needsmust Depot

Hunslet 6wDM 101hp (HE 5218/1958) seen outside the Needsmust depot of the St Kitts Scenic Railway on 18th February 2017. The loco was one of a fleet of Hunslets that operated sugar cane trains on St Kitts until withdrawn around 2002. It has since been restored and sees occasional use on maintenance trains on what is now a popular tourist railway but is not powerful enough to haul the heavy passenger services. The design similarities between No.14 and the standard gauge (Class 05) Hunslets are very noticeable.
