@Taliesin2000 @darjeelingtank There is at least one more Baldwin 10-12-D class which has recently returned to traffic. We’re also proud to be the custodians of 778 and we’re honoured to work with our friends at Froissy to celebrate these locomotives’ history.

[Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway @buzzrail]

We were delighted to host you and you’re welcome back at any time!

[Girlguiding Herts @gguidingherts]

Over 70 Rainbows from across West Hertfordshire division recently enjoyed a day out at the @buzzrail 🚆
The engine even had a Girlguiding plaque made especially for the journey.
Heather the event organiser the said: "I am unsure who enjoyed it most... the Rainbows or leaders.

[Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway @buzzrail]

Due to flooding beyond our control, today’s train service will stop short at Stonehenge Works station and will not run up Munday’s Hill.

We apologise for the disappointment this will cause, but the safety of our passengers and trains is paramount.

We’d love to host 19B for a special visit!

[Phil Marsh @Marshrail]

@LordPeterHendy @TheFactCompiler @MrTimDunn @StatfoldMuseum @buzzrail @festrail @Taliesin2000
19B will also be able to visit other railways while being based at Statfold. @TodaysRailways @NarrowGaugeWrld Adrian hopefully would be delighted with this news.

[Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway @buzzrail]

@mikenarrowgauge @mrsnodes @MrTimDunn @sciencemuseum @lopapatel @StatfoldMuseum Correct, 740 is at Statfold. Rishra is with us, awaiting heavy general overhaul. I am hoping I can put her out on static display at this year’s galas. Watch this space!

[Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway @buzzrail]

@mrsnodes @MrTimDunn @sciencemuseum @lopapatel Not quite, we’re 2’ (610mm); Nilgiri is metre-gauge.
