Over the last few years the Chasewater Railway has re-established itself as an industrial railway. Many sections of the line still show its' NCB heritage and the railway has an ever expanding rake of mineral wagons. These combined provide an ideal location to recreate industrial railway scenes.
To make the charter even more attractive, the ever helpful railway will be reincarnating a long lost Cannock resident, ''Holly Bank No.3''. The 1924 built 16'' Hunslet was scrapped in the 1960s at Littleton but, following kind agreement of the owners, on loan Darfield No.1 will shortly be repainted in lined NCB Staffordshire Area blue. The locomotive will ran with the expanded rake of minerals plus the NCB blue brake van as per Littleton Colliery.
