    The two oldest Hunslet locomotives still in working order - 'Lilian' and 'Velinheli' - were in action today, double heading the last passenger trains of the peak season at the Launceston Steam Railway. Amazingly at 128 and 125 years old respectively, Lilian and Velinheli have both only had two owners from new!

    Might be nice to see the two oldest alongside the two youngest working Hunslets one day....

    If you want to know how we "put the train set back in its box" there's a video showing the end of season megashunt on our website, along with a few other photos.
