    Have you tried Hollycombe? The chap that bought it is heavily involved with the railway there. Not sure what state she`s in at the mo.

    Pixie wasn't on the railway when I was there the back end of May, this was shortly before the rail gala and even if it was just in storage there I'm sure it would have been pulled out.

    Pixie spent a short while at Hollycombe after purchase from Audrey Boston at Cadeby. At present however it is undergoing heavy overhaul at the owners (private) site. It is most likely that Pixie will return to Hollycombe once the work is complete as (as has already been said) its owner is a volunteer there.

    And here we are seven years later. . .

    Does anyone know the current whereabouts of Pixie?

    OK, cheers. I looked into it and the most recent info seems to be this thread. I've not found any more recent references or pics other than those taken in Cadeby days. Hence my question earlier.

    If it is the same person who I am thinking of, is he not busy with the Vale of Rheidol and the new workshop (and no it is not Peter Rampton either)
