    I went over to the KWVR on Saturday for a day out behind the LNWR Coal Tank' 1054, the only LNWR in working order in the UK, also i think the KWVR is the only preserved railway running a normal timetable in January (unless anyone know different)

    In Haworth yard was Jinty 47279 recently extricated from the exhibition hall at Oxenhope under inspection prior to a full overhaul (its place taken in the exhibition hall at Oxenhope by Taff Vale No.85)

    A comparison in 0-6-0 shunters in Haworth yard showing how physically alike these 2 designs were not withstanding one was Steam and the other Diesel

    Originally it was supposed to be the Diesel Railbus working the diesel roster in the timetable, it was failed with flat batteries even after being on charge all the previous night!!, so 144011 took its place, which perhaps was a good idea as there was quite a lot of passengers using it
