There were two Tinkerbell's in the vid - "Sir Robert" (black one with cab - modified to 0-4-4), and the open-cabbed blue loco. The light brown one is an Exmoor. Mr. Holroyde, over to you... ..? Dom

Looks an interesting machine and would love to a little more about the loco and also the line. Noticed a very impressive engine shed in the background and more than a few lovely signals. Anyone have a trackplan?

Cleaner Posts: 155 Group: Member Member #271 Joined: September 28, 2007	The Wayside Light Railway is near Maidstone in Kent and is an extensive 7.25" gauge line based purely on narrow gauge lines. If anyone can get hold of a copy of my video 'Passenger Carrying Garden Railways' (Festival Video), or Miniature Railway Round-up Vol.2 they will find the Wayside features heavily in both. The 'diesel' to which David refers was the first of three built by Tony Crowhurst of Crowhurst Engineering. It was built as a petrol hydraulic and is based on an actual design that Tony discovered while in South Africa. The 'real' loco is 'semi-preserved' on a farm in South Africa but is not in a runnable condition. The other two built by Tony are owned by Brett Rodgers (7.25") and Lord Braybrooke (Audley End 10.25").
