What railway, other than the ravenglass and eskdale, did captain howey consider buying before building the Romney, Hythe, and Dymchurch?

Lynton and Barnstable

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:48 pm

no, not that one (I had head Howey was interested in the locos, until he saw them anyway).

The line I'm refering to was recommended by Henry Greenly to Howey as one of 3 potential sites for Howey's dream railway (the others were Romney, and Weston-Super-Mare).

What 2'6" line was built in the 1950s and operated until 2001, using a fleet of twenty 2-10-2s (and later diesels) to haul 1700 ton trains over its 255km route?

TommyDodd · Post by **TommyDodd** » Tue Jan 15, 2013 1:25 am

84hrs and not a single stab?

CLUE: This line was very fortunate in its Chief Mechanical Engineer, since it had that brilliant engineer of "Modern" steam Livio Dante Porta.

With that obvious clue it is The Ramal Ferro Industrial de Río Turbio in Argentina.
