    Everything aside, I think the new loco looks great and has the potential to give great service to the L&BR. It would be interesting to see her lined up at Leighton Buzzard with both Pixie and Risha Here is another photo of her while she is at...

    As it often says on financial pitches "past performance is no guarantee of future results". In this case, we need to look positively to build the future from where we are now, not rest on our laurels, bathing in the glory of past achievements,...

    I'm sure it would look nice on a short length of track at Chelfham or Bratton Fleming, out of sight of anyone who might be 'offended' by it being at WB :-)

    Thanks. I guess comments are largely out of viewing the RVR web/blog site pictures of the area where we laid the 350m of track a week ago? If that's correct then the parallel roadway you were looking at is actually the part finished formation...

    That is the trouble with this forum, I guess. You don't know me very well then:):):) . I have only been a member of the L&BRT (and the Association) since 1979.

    Didn't the Welshpool lads go after one of them? I think there is still a group interested in one of the railcars in Sri Lanka? If you know where to look and who to contact, then there are still some gems out there.

    At this rate, stick all the L&BR locos and rolling-stock together and it may well be longer than the original stretch of line when we first opened at WB :-)

    It certainly looks like an interesting engine, but I don't have the tech spec to comment on it. That said, I bet some L&BR purists might be having an apoplectic fit right now, but bring it on; it's what I said would happen 20+ years ago, but no...

    Shame. I didn't even know that Yahoo was still a "thing". I thought that it had bit the dust long ago!

    Delighted to see this. It is produced by our own @Breva who does such a sterling job blogging for the GWSR which, in turn, has generated much support for the Broadway extension and rebuild.
