This coming Saturday at Statfold we have 'Carrying the Load'

The following locomotives will be running Harrogate, Howard, Liassic, Trangkil, Atlas, and Carol Ann in action on the Mease Valley Light Railway.

Parallel Running, a vintage 1924 steamroller, and rides on our Burton & Ashby (weather permitting).

 

Statfold have announced their 2026 Spectacles of Steam for March 07/08 and June 06/07. Can we expect any new additions to the working fleet? I'm specifically thinking of WDLR 4-6-0T 779 (Baldwin 44657/1916, ex India) under restoration at Killamarsh or CDC 0-4-2T 1 (HE 3756/1952, ex Cameroon).

 

The WD is no longer at Killamarsh. The guys there rebuilt the cab and did some work on some other parts, but a change of plan meant the WD returned to Statfold for the restoration to continue there. I think it would still be a while off steaming.

Killamarsh took on Black Hawthorn 0-4-0ST 'Portugesa' (748/1884) on behalf of Statfold in place of the WD. It’s still early stages but a lot has been achieved already.

The Cameroon loco is probably a good bet.

No insider knowledge-just going on updates which are publicly available

A couple of events have been advertised at Statfold in April to Liassic's impending withdrawal:

Sadly it looks like I won't be able to make either of them, however Does anybody know if there are any other steaming dates planned for her before she bows out?
