The Austerity locomotive was built by Hunslet for the War Department in 1944. After military service the locomotive was sold the the NCB. Bold Colliery where it received the name 'Alison'. After an overhaul and a livery change the locomotive was renamed 'Joseph' possibly after one of the Colliery Managers sons. After Bold was closed 'Joseph' was sent to the Chatterley Mining Museum in Stoke on Trent but when that closed in the mid 1990's, 'Joseph' was moved to the South Devon Railway where it can be seen today.
