    Unfortunately when it reopens it will be a 'lesser' ride than the one filmed. There will be only two coaches, it will travel clockwise only. The 'train' will be coloured white. There was a position advertised by the local council for two supervisors. 15 hours per week with scope for longer hours as and when required. It will e interesting to see how long the railway 'repays' the £500k loan.

    Not interested. If it had been rebuilt to 12-1/4" gauge and they'd wanted to hire "Sherpa" for a season I would have been!

    I know precisely what you mean. Having seen it on it's holiday along the coast at Nohampton, I agree. Of every 12in/12¼in gauge loco I've seen (and that's quite a few!), Sherpa has a unique presence which is nothing short of absolutely bloody marvellous! :)

    Quite agree - it was what persuaded me to buy the Fairbourne back in '95 and I subsequently bought it from the company. Worth every penny!

    Nice to see that the railway is returning. A good part of my early years holiday's were spent riding the railway. I hate to think that is 50 years ago....

    Loaded test runs Monday afternoon. 30 plus volunteers crammed into the train and enjoyed a couple of turns around the railway. More testing completed today . Hoping the railway is signed off from the contractor to the council.
