Ok, fair enough! I don't think I'd be prepared to go to Devon, unless of course it is for the official opening of the Penrose Light Railway

By the time there was an official opening of the PLR you could probably bring your wife and kids.. :rolleyes: That's if it ever gets to being "finished"...or at least almost finished.. Intrigued as to the "original condition" C/W Hymek in Devon... hiding in a private residence I presume? Only one I know of in Devon is the one converted to battery electric at Bickleigh Mill...but then I don't know everything, and Devon's a big place!! |

That one is not a cromar white loco, it was built by the late Arthur Glaze, more famous for building locos and boilers. His son is John Glaze, boiler inspector. |
