Looks like they are selling David Curwen through Station Road Steam:

The loco has now been sold by Station Road Steam. Here is a quote from the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway website:

"A new locomotive arrived at Eastleigh Lakeside Railway on Saturday 20th David Curwen
one of the original locomotives which ran a Dobwalls has been bought by one of our volunteers"

See this link for a picture of the loco on a test run-

Hope this helps!

It'll suit that line good and proper.

Nice powerful 7.25" loco which will keep up with the 10.25" stuff too.

Cheers for that info,

Dom
