BR No. 11103/D2203, the sole survivor of the four original Drewry 0-6-0DM locos supplied in 1952 to work the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway and Ipswich...
Morning all, I trust you've had a Merry Christmas and that 2023 will see a further return to normality for all of us. Mangapps under threat! It's...
It is indeed ex Mangapps. It was obtained in our very early days, as a body and underframe, from a farmer friend at Ulting, near Maldon. We had...
Of the two ex MoD vans that came from Mangapps (they actually belonged to a late railwayana collector friend who used them for storage), the one...
Most of the vehicles shown were sold from Mangapps during a clear-out of surplus items about three years ago. The buyer has a site adjacent to the...
I believe that they enjoyed it very much! It was a perfect ending to a great day- Chelsea Flower Show (Amanda was a professional landscape...
No, it doesn't need them, at least not for the kind of use that we intend to put it to. Although the tyres are getting thin, the profiles are...

Hold on lads, let's not come to blows about this! I was merely replying to @Hicks19862, who made the valid point that there are a considerable...
It's not surprising. They're capable of doing anything required of them on any heritage railway, from the largest to short lines with tight curves...
It's already been suggested, along with quite a few others;).
I expect that's how the original passengers pronounced it- it's an old LT&S board and the destination on the other side is "Kentish Town" (or Tahn...
