No. 5

Hunslet 40HP No.6285 was built for an iron ore mine in Cumbria, northern England. It operated underground on a 2'6" gauge system. Unlike in a coal mine where the risk of gas explosion is greater, it did not need to be flame-proof so the electrics were unshielded. The exhaust was fitted with a conditioner, necessary for underground operation.

It returned at some time to Hunslet for regauging to 2', and then was sold to Saunders & Forster Steel Works of Stratford, East London.

The locomotive was later purchased from S&F by a WHR member. On arrival at Gelert's Farm, the cab was removed and the conditioner bypassed. Seen from the front, No.5 has a distinctive asymmetrical profile, with the maker's badge in art deco style diagonally across the front grille.
