BSC Redcar - 'Mirvale' & 'Lion' Molten Steel Torpedo - Blast Furnace Hot Metal Road - FTP Charter - 19.x.1996

            British Steel Redcar Steelworks (BSC Teesside) - Hudwell Clarke 0-4-0ST 'Mirvale' (Works No 1882/1955) and Peckett 0-4-0ST 'Lion' (Works No 1351/1914) haul a retired 370 ton molten steel torpedo away from the Blast Furnace on the Hot Metal Road during a FTP photo charter on 19th October 1996
Dominated by the 367 foot high Blast furnace - 'Mirvale' and Lion are heading away from the molten steel tapping bay. This occasion was organised by Freight Train Productions in collaboration with BSC Staff and Foxfield & Middleton Railways.
Very much an unrepeatable scene sadly!
