Ruston and Hornsby 223741 (20DL)

Ruston & Hornsby built many 20DLs over a lengthy period. The example here, with the works number 223741 is now preserved at Crich Tramway Museum. The 20DL refers to the power rating (20hp) and DL means narrow gauge. However, 223741 is now a standard gauge locomotive having been converted from 600mm gauge in 1963. A similar locomotive at Crich is 326058.
