READERS’ DAY SUCCESS:
The RM editor and team wish to thank the Statfold Barn Railway, the Darjeeling Tank Locomotive Trust, and everyone who came to the readers’ day at the SBR on October 7, to see the DTLT’s 2ft gauge loco No. 19B in action for the last time before it steps down for a major overhaul. The SBR is always a great day out and the loco performed well until the last trip of the day, when a minor fault saw it replaced by 0-4-2T No. 2 Howard. Following its overhaul, No. 19B should be back in action next summer visiting other 2ft gauge lines.
