    The next episode of Steam on the Moor premieres on YouTube at 18:00 today, and is focused on Blackmoor - so let's see what that has to say!

    Yes, of course - Litchurch Lane has 3rd rail facilities, doesn't it?

    Yes indeed. Best not to forget that unique style, one off in the class, 2-10-2 South African Class 20 steam loco. Built in SA 1935 and converted to a condensing loco with a type CL condensing tender in 1950. Sadly scrapped in 1961 . It is said...

    Well, this is what it has gone to Derby for, so hopefully very, very close indeed!
