    Currently the WHHR have for sale the Hudson Hunslet "Atlas" which they are asking £10000 for, and the Fordson Go Go tractor, which they want £20,000 for. The plan is to put all the locos up for sale after the next WHHR gala. Technically two members of the WHHR staff have bought the locos and are selling them on.

    I think the main shed is available on a "you take it down and away, and you can have it" basis, or at most a nominal sum - probably best contacting the WHHR lads about it fairly quickly if it's wanted...

    Hello,

    Because it is quoted nowhere, does anyone know the whereabouts of the one German locomotive in the Abbey Light Railway collection? It is O&K number 5926 build 1935 type RL1. http://abbeylightrailway.webs.com/no7.htm
    Thanks!
    Philipp

    It was at the WHR when I called in a month or so ago - I've no idea if it's still there, or if it's moved on further.

    No disrespect, but I was at gelerts farm the day the stuff landed, and can recall looking at the braised repair someone had made to the engines waterjacket with some interest.

    Or are you just being a smug pedant over fthe fact I didn't specify which whr I meant (I thought it should have been fairly obvious from the thread's context).
