Nice railway, much better when one if the 2-6-4 tanks is running. Is the Narrow Gauge Wagon still in the yard at Haverthwaite?

I think they have more than one there, 3' gauge gunpowder wagons from Low Wood gunpowder factory tramway.

Someone has a sense of humor. Disabled parking right next to a drop into an open pit.
Excuse me whilst I go and get Swmbo up as I all of a sudden have an idea for a day trip.

That is Victor originally along with Vulcan a sister engine started steam working on the West Somerset Railway, both came from the Austin Factory at Longbridge and are quite different from the other engine an Austerity both having outside cylinders and valve gear whereas the Austerity has all them bits hidden between the frames. We had Victor at the West Somerset gala this year doing a think a 50 years celebration since the line opened.
