    Irish Narrow Gauge Railways

    i don't know. The only thing I heard is that the sale of the rolling stock had to go ahead before they'd sell the loco. No idea if it's true

    Construction of 3' Gauge Blyth for Southwold Railway Trust by NBR Engineering, Darlington

    Thank you for that. Sensible move to build the boiler first isn't it. Sounds like 120 for the boiler and 130 for the rest then. That's doable. If...

    that's the sort of Museum Speak I have come to hate. If that's the case, then why aren't there guards fitted to every preserved railway platform?
