Nothing really, Little Giant on loan, although that may be going to CCLR, and a 15" gauge coach a glass case on display!

The two original Milner Hunslet locos are in private hands, one of which (Pendlewitch) is at Station Road Steam undergoing overhaul.

Not sure if any other Milner locos are in the NRM.

Cheers,

Jordan,

They have done this before with some of their 7.25" engines. One line that a few have visited is the Weston Park Railway.

Thanks

I believe the Great Cockrow Railway currently has the NRM's Austerity 2-8-0.

Taw Milner Engineering 2-6-2T 1979ish of the L and B outline
Margaret NRM Works 0-4-0STT 1981 Hunslet
Mount Kenya Milner Engineering 4-8-2 + 2 -8 -4 1979iish EAR Garret
Owain Glyndwr H and C Powell 2-6-2T 1969 VoR outline

Longmoor Liversidge? 2-10-0 ay Great Cockcrow

There are others in smaller gauges, not to mention the diseasals that run ont he miniature line.

Some historic miniature locos have been displayed downt he years. The TMA Britannia, River Irt, Blacovsley, Hurricane and Typhoon or was it Southern Maid.

I cant help but think it is a shame that they dont have the room to have them on display. But it wood take a lot of room.

no unluckerly little giant has never run at rhyl it was Prince of Wales and George the Fifth followed a lot latter by Red Dragon (of which bits are Prince of Wales) and then some time in the future they will be joined by Henry Greenly :P :P
It may only be 15" but it is fun to play with
