Mosley Common on 18 January 1962. No2, formerly LMS 2271, was built in 1923 and purchased in 1937 arriving on 8 October and named PRINCESS. There were a total of five NSR ‘New L class’ 0-6-2T’s purchased by Manchester Collieries Ltd from the LMS. Sir Robert Burrows was a director of both companies which may have aided their acquisition, and by the length of service they put in they certainly were a good buy
