    It had to be a rather brief visit but the cake ;looked home made (The important bit) and its on the way to the WSR which helps with future visits.

    An interesting collection of stationary engines, mostly steam but including a Crossley diesel & a Lister Startomatic.

    Easton & Amos pump, the original engine on the site being started & run.

    There is also a very short 2ft line with a train running and a small collection of loco's onc;uding a Simplex & several Listers

    Well worth a visit

    By a lucky coincidence, I was in the area on Wednesday, 18th August which I was told was the one weekday in the year when they are open with engines in steam and operating; normally, they only open on Sundays. So I went along to have a look and shot a bit of video while I was there:



    Hope it's of interest. As it says above, more details can be found here: https://www.wzlet.org/

    TTFN,

    Ron.
