Bore da Gyfeillion! I've just read in the new Stema Railway that a narrow-gauge new build Hunslet 0-4-0ST has recently been finished and is for sale. Now,...
Hello All, This would be the second of the 2ft gauge Quarry Hunslets which Statfold have built. I believe the asking price is round about £120,000. James...
Aah, well - that does seem a tad expensive, I guess..... Thanks for the info!! ... Statfold have built. I believe the asking price is round about £120,000. ...
The second loco was reported as costing £152,000 in the British railway press. I'm not sure how easy it would be to regauge one to 2 ft 3 in - the outside...
I believe that Statfold/Hunslet are about to build a third loco, so if someone can wave a magic wand to produce the purchase money maybe they could be...
Off-hand, I think the Tattoo came in at just over £100k. Some costs were saved by Andy and Ade doing the platework - cab, bunkers and saddle-tank - for the...
Found this while reading through Railway Magazine Jan 1950 (for an unrelated modelling project) "News received from North Wales during recent weeks suggests...

The Quarry hunslet loco in my opinion would not be up to the job and wouldn't look right if it was adapted to 2 foot 3inch gauge, not to mention the rather...
These photos are an interesting mix - some have previously been published, some I don't recall seeing before. Some state that copyright comes with the photo,...
I thought I'd put another cat among the pigeions.... I see on Barrie Hughes' Welsh Highland pages that the NG15 No120 currently partly restored at WHR(P) is...
Might have a bit of a problem squeezing between the walls of Pioneer Curve into Corris Station ! Our loading gauge is even tighter than the Talyllyn's, which...
Thanks for the loading gauge information - stranded over here in the US I haven't had a chance to visit for ages! Last time I spent any time at Corris was in...
Me again - Might the Railway want another diesel. Preston has two very good looking diesels: HUDSWELL CLARKE Two 2 Ft 6" Narrow Gauge 0-6-0 Locomotives with...
Well I quite like the one of the loco inside Maespeoth shed and also the two pics of it taking water outside, there is also one of what looks like either...
