Darlington Works built and repaired locomotives from 1863 until its closure in 1966 and many of the locos featured in this video were built or repaired in North Road Works, then run-in from Darlington shed before dispatch to their home depot. Shown hard at work are ex-NER J27's and Q6's with K1's, WDs with 9F's working the Consett iron ore trains, followed by views of A1's, A3's, A4's, V2's and B1's etc. on Darlington shed and Works yard. Journeys on the Richmond and Catterick Camp branches are followed by visits to Hartlepool and Sunderland to watch the numerous workings from South Docks shed. Leaving the coast line, Washington and the iron ore traffic is seen before returning to Darlington via Penshaw.
