Gateshead No.10

No.10 was built in 1925 by the Gateshead and District Tramways Co. When the Gateshead system closed in 1951 it was sold to British Railways to run on the Grimsby & Immingham Electric Railway as No.26 until that closed on July 1st 1961. It arrived at Beamish in 1973 repainted in its original livery as Gateshead No.10. It was repainted into its G & I livery in 2012 and back into Gateshead livery in 2019.

The model was built using a 3D printed body designed by Mark Casson and produced by Shapeways in The Netherlands. It is fitted with a Mabuchi motor and Halling bogies.
