Statfold Barn Railway Mallet

Attached is a photo of our latest loco overhaul, 2 ft gauge Jung "Mallet" 0-4-4-0TT 4878 of 1930 - Jatibarang No 9.

It can be seen running for the first time at our Enthusiast Day on the 26th of March.

After that it will be going on its Easter hols to North Wales!

That is awesome.

 

Looks good too , bet will sound awesome as well ! ,
quick question about the open day , will Hunslet Austerity 3883 still be on site ?

 

Thanks!

3883 should be still with us and is now virtually finished.

No guantees bit I think you will be in luck.

WOW!!!!!
I mean like WOW!!!
It looks absolutely brilliant!

 

Many thanks Henry for the quick reply , now looking forward to my first visit even more .

 

I haven't seen a Mallet working, I think I'm going to North Wales later! Any idea of dates?

Regards

 

Henry, that does indeed look a magnificent restoration - a wee bit different to it's former guise in Java though!

A couple of questions about the loco Henry, what are the vital stats. for this loco., weight? horsepower? coupled wheel dia? This info could give a guide to potential performance in the upcoming 'trials' in North Wales, especially against the similar size Ffestiniog engines that have modern, superheated boilers and improved draughting. I do hope that it acquits itself well on the slopes around Beddgelert, it will certainly be a sight to be relished - particularly with that livery!.

Well done with the restoration to the team at Statfold, another quality loco rebuild.

Cheers

Alan

 

Wow! Looks brilliant, It really suits that livery, looking forward to seeing it on the 26th!

 

Looks stunning. Shall have to go and see her tackling the WHR

 

Sheff, You only live down the road, why not help raise funds for local charities and go to Statfold and see it sooner?
You know it makes sense

 

I didn't know they are open to the public?

 

sort of, you have to book a ticket, if you google statfold barn railway, the contact details are there, any probs let me know and I will see if i can help, I too only live down the road, thier first open day is the 26th of this month!!

 

Looks like you need to download this form and send it back to them with an £8 donation:

Yeah I saw that thanks. What's the charidee connection though?

 

Did it originally have a tender? Is the livery prototypical?

Looks meaty!!

 

all of your £8 is given to local Charities,

 

Thanks, so a visit is a win-win all round! Perhaps they ought to make that more prominment on the form? I'll be sending mine off for sure.

It appears to have been built as a tank loco and you can clearly see where the back bunker etc have been altered and the cab extended. However the records state it was supplied as a tender loco so its a bit of a mystery!

When we stripped it down we found numerous layers of paint including dark blue so we decided to use that. The lining and lettering though are our addition.

The railway is wholey privately owned and run.

The Enthusiast Days are just a way of sharing what Graham has achieved, with like minded people!

We set up a "Friends" Trust just to administer and forward on the Donations we receive, to various Charities

Hope that clarifies the situation
