There are a couple of classic 1850s British built locos not so far away: Both Beyer Peacocks, standard gauge and, AFAIK, still steamable; 2-2-2...
They were indeed built for service abroad, so they don't qualify under your current rules. However, I suspect that you'll soon complete the list...
A couple more- Fox Walker 358 of 1878 "Minnie" Hunslet 469 of 1888 "Hastings" Both at Mangapps. I can think of a couple more Fox Walkers, the...
Sheringham, NNR.
The trouble with some of those who seem most insistent that EMUs "must" be preserved is that they appear to have little idea of just what does...
I'm afraid it already has, but only on a couple of threads on NGC!:)
That's a very good point. Except, perhaps, for the retired, everyone seems to be under more financial pressure than in the past and this is...

May I ask an awkward question? What's the matter at Oswestry? I first went though there in the early '70s. The line to the wonderfully named...
"....nothing on the webpage:confused:?":confused: Oh, you mean nothing about a line extension! That's because we don't intend to extend the...
I'm sure you're right- I'd assumed it was Bullied because of his LNER background, which just goes to show that you shouldn't assume anything!...
Or even earlier! "Buckeye" is the British name for the American "knuckle" coupling, universal across the pond, along with air brakes, since 1893....
Indeed, thanks from me, too:). The only thing missing is the sound! I shall be there in June, can't wait!!
