    After a few visits to Cumbria, I finally got chance to enjoy La'al Ratty last Thursday (30th Aug) , what a great little line (and great staff)

    A common sight these days on many heritage railways I'd imagine, Santa Specials always are a crucial source of income, and a good way to get the kids introduced to steam engines and the hobby in general too.

    Just curious, as it's been a while since brought into service now, how has Whillan Beck been performing on the R&ER? Be interesting to know, seeing as it wasn't specifically designed for operating on the railway, unlike the other resident locomotives.

    She's performed brilliantly, never seen an engine tackle Beckfoot Bank so well. There's a couple of videos on my channel of the loco if you are interested to see her working

    Nice to see the pictures of Eskie. I have moved on now to the Patriot so don't see Esk any more.

    She’s doing incredibly well since she came back Nigel, as has the Beck. Rock and Irt however are quite poorly at the moment.

    Nothing an overhaul wouldn't cure I hope? What's Mite's current status please?

    I noticed the carriage Blodge have named 'Ratty2' under construction. This new generation of R&E stock looks absolutely superb.

    Mite was out yesterday with the Beck and Esk. She seems to do quite well now. Rock’s cylinders have just worn down so in need of new ones I think. Irt has just had either it’s top end or bottom overhaul so should be out soon as it’s going to Beamish next month.

    Yes she is, being fitted with vacuum brakes so it can work trains on it’s own if needed.
