    The loco is based in hampshire and privately owned by one of the volunteers at Hollycombe. The loco did a test run last weekend at Hollycombe for their annual steam rally on Sept 11th/12th. The loco was then transported on Monday along with Hunslet loco Jack Lane to the Statfold Barn collection for their open day. The loco will return next week for the continental railway weekend and is possibly staying at the collection untill the end of the season.

    Is this one of the locos that was initially purchased for the Golden Valley line at Butterley?

    Privately owned by its owner who is based in hampshire and has a workshop there but no railway. Owner is a volunteer at Hollycombe and will use the loco here and possibly visit other railways in near future.

    No this isn't a Barry Curl loco, and the Hunslet 0-4-2 is back at Durley.

    This thread, and the Statfold Barn thread referring to the same loco, seem to be pussyfooting around the name of the owner, which may cause confusion and speculation. Has he asked for anonymity?

    Due to transportation problems the loco which was visiting from the statfold barn collection will sadly not be there. Good news is the polish loco arrived today. polish.jpg

    No pussyfooting Ken, but I felt I should ask the owner his permission first before posting his name. The loco is owned by Mr Rob Gambrill.
