The Trust has examples of Classes 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09 and 14 at Rowsley - a remarkable collection that is well worth a visit, if a little difficult to photograph in cramped surroundings but at least most are now under cover.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 07/05/2017]](/images/59000/59261.jpg "Rowsley")

![Sole surviving Barclay Class 06 0-4-0 shunter has led a varied life and also been based at a number of preservation locations [See image 37009]. Now in the care of the Heritage Shunters Trust at the Peak Railway it was tucked away at the back of their workshop in May 2017 undergoing a full overhaul. Judging by the fine condition of other restored shunters in their fleet the results will be worth seeing. Footnote: No, I don't know why the duck is there either.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 07/05/2017]](/images/59000/59313.jpg "Rowsley")
