National Coal Board No.38 (Hudswell Clarke 1823, built 1949) shunts dirt tippers at Shilbottle Colliery in June 1972.  This loco was numbered in the South 
Northumberland Area series although the colliery was in the North Northumberland Area.  Later <I>North Northumberland</I> No.38 joined it, giving Shilbottle two locos with the same
 running number out of a total loco stock of four.  This loco is preserved at Marley Hill on the Tanfield Railway, as is No.38 (the other one).
