My experience of S15’s is limited to 825/841 but I have nothing but admiration for them. They may not have the ease of prep and comforts of the BR Standards but they are strong, sure footed and fantastic steamers.

Hey! Size isn't everything! :eek: I'd rather watch a smaller loco working hard* than a big locomotive with 2 coaches. * Not being thrashed, just a decent sized load.

That service is down as only 2 Zillertal coaches so must be a 'they won't need to work hard' decision.

This is correct, but the passage of time and poor storage meant that by the time use was to be made of it the steelwork had rotted past the point of no viable return and it was scrapped.

At least two of the vehicles there came to the Bluebell in September 2008 when the site was cleared. One was a the body of a Craven-era (1850s) passenger brake van and is exceptionally valuable, though as of yet it remains unrestored and not on...
