Out and About

Here are some photos taken during our latest running session, showing Classes 15, 20 and 24 at various locations on the railway.

We begin with our Class 15 (D8239), which is seen passing Arthur's Folly at the head of a short train of GUVs. We love this little loco and she can be seen on various duties, both goods and passenger, as well as on the occasional shunting jobs. A very reliable and capable performer, unlike her larger sisters, apparently!

Next, in numerical order, we see our green liveried Class 20 (D8158) with a single parcels van calling at the latest and smallest station on the railway. This little halt is located on the branch line to High Bridge and Anchwood and serves Folly View Farm. The farm is so named because its elevated position affords it a great view of Arthur's Folly.

The Class 20 is another excellent performer and, like the 15, is regularly called upon for both goods and passenger trains.

Finally our Class 24 (24081) is seen calling at Carswater with a local train - and holding up traffic on the adjacent level crossing in the process! This is a Suttons Loco Works model and she is quite stunning. She also has amazing sound and is a joy to drive. Yes, she is a firm favourite and is often seen on many mixed traffic duties.
