Perhaps best on the egroup..however will try here first!

Anyone know the current loco situation at Powderham Castle?
I think the Tinkerbell "Timothy" has gone back to Bolebroke Castle, and the diesel sold to Sanday Light Railway, leaving what to run the railway? I imagine Yeo has been outshopped from overhaul?

Also any ideas on what locos actually are at Bolebroke Castle?

At Powderham there is Yeo, The Ex Ness Islands Engine Gemini and Timonthy is still at Powderham. I believe stock may have been taken there frrom Sanday.

I know, I saw that at Peter Scotts website yesterday. Very strange, but I think Jim Whittle would of taken the stock with him and might put it up for sale at Get on Track. It's a shame I never visited looked likea nice line.
