No apologies for so many photos of the utterly beautiful Rosenkavalier, which I personally find far more attractive than her sister on the RHDR.

And the video of King Haaken overtaking us at speed is here:

I really must get down to Norfolk this year. That and another 15" gauge line is calling....

Good to see Beaver still looking good. Great fun that loco, Never forgiven Austin for that exchange really..... However its not a class 29 but a class 22.

The Krupp pacifics are one of my personal favorite 15" gauge locos, but that scotsman really needs putting back together!

Thanks for the photos Tim, an interesting collection.

The lines at Bressingham always seem to be left to nature, but it's always an interesting place to visit.

I was discussing with Colin a while ago about the coaches on the 10.25" gauge line, and he noticed that they were very similar in style to Alan Keef coaches. I notice the 2 foot gauge coaches have also had this treatment.

Thanks
Peter

There were some 2ft gauge homebuilt coaches left to the side of the 15" and standard gauge tracks. They're definitely on their way out:

The 15" ones are lovely - they have curved slatted seats, and have curved metal skirts around all edges. Anyone know where they were from?

Best seen here:

Also Flying Scotsman on 15" gauge here:

AIUI they came from Germany with the locos. Don't know any more than that.
