    A couple of questions for the Statfold folk - I see that the new Lynton coaches were stored in the grain store. Are there plans for these to run in their current form at Statfold? The two new big American diesels (Plymouths?), do any plans or dimentions exist? I quite fancy a model!

    Thanks,

    Ben

    No I do not currently volunteer
    Would anyone be able to clarify which of the SBR's steam locos are 2' gauge and which are 2'6'' gauge?

    Is that the ex-Durley Light Railway Josephine? I'd spent many a happy day on her footplate (used to live in the next village over). Gutted she's not local anymore, but glad she's look in tip-top shape!

    It's a long way from Hampshire unfortunately! I will look forward to some photographs on here. Is she going to be re-gauged again, or stick with 2ft?
