Not a great picture, taken from the train window, but one that shows the shocking state that Bescot yard is in. Through the winter undergrowth, Colas branded 66949 'Wylam Dilly' is seen stabled in the yard. The locomotive is named after the second oldest surviving example of its earliest relations. Wylam Dilly was designed by William Hedley and Timothy Hackworth in 1813 to work in Wylam colliery, west of Newcastle upon Tyne
