Birches Barn Light Railway - now with a big Quarry Hunslet

Post by DaveWatkins » Sun Nov 17, 2013 5:36 pm

Our latest 5" gauge addition ran on the BBLR for the first time today. The loco was built in 1979 to Don Young's design.

Ah ha! I nearly rang mike at station road about this one. Glad she has gone to a good home. Will have to have a 5" gauge hunslet fest at some point!
