A STEAM engine which spent 13 years on display at a Butlin's holiday camp has now gone on show at a North-East railway museum. The Duchess of Hamilton arrived at Locomotion: The National Railway Museum at Shildon today. It has been based at the National Railway Museum, York, since 1987 and is paying its first Shildon visit. The loco was pulled from York to Shildon by an NRM-owned Deltic.
