Appleby Frodingham Railway

At the end of 1990, some of the works  drivers met with British Steel PLC management and asked if they could run the tours again for the following year.

1992 saw the arrival of "Arnold Machin", an 0-6-0 diesel-electric shunter from (named at the time) East Coast Slag co. which  was overhauled and returned to working order, whilst steam traction was provided by "Sir Berkley".

With these locos being ideal for operations around the work, 2 members decided to visit the plant in Poland and "Hutnik" was  purchased and brought back to Scunthorpe.

In 1995, after a members' purchase, a Pecket 0-4-0 saddle tank was brought to Scunthorpe, and after receiving a full overhaul, joined "Hutnick" hauling passengers.

On occasions, internal steelworks (radio controlled) Locomotives have also been used on passenger trains to the delight of visitors, and with many thanks to British Steel.
