Over the next few years there could be the possibility of having a steam fleet of the B12, Y14, N2, 80080, 76084 and the saddle tank locomotives. I’d imagine that’s a pretty ideal fleet for the NNR’s needs. With the WD going out of service, the...

Sheff liked Bayard's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
