National Coal Board No.38 (Hudswell Clarke 1823, built 1949) shunts dirt tippers at Shilbottle Colliery in June 1972. This loco was numbered in the South
Northumberland Area series although the colliery was in the North Northumberland Area. Later North Northumberland No.38 joined it, giving Shilbottle two locos with the same
running number out of a total loco stock of four. This loco is preserved at Marley Hill on the Tanfield Railway, as is No.38 (the other one).

National Coal Board North Durham Area No.41 (Kitson 2509, built 1883) in store at Derwenthaugh sidings in late 1969. This loco was new to Consett Iron Comany as "A No.5".
It was transferred to the National Coal Board in January 1947 when Consett Iron's coal mines were nationalised. Even though it was the oldest of this class of locos to pass to the NCB it was the last to survive.
It passed into preservation in 1972, and is now restored to Consett Iron Co. condition. The loco behind (No.82) was not so lucky. It was scrapped in March 1971.
