We’ve been delighted to have a Darjeeling Himalayan Railway B Class locomotive visiting us at Wester Pickston over the last couple of weeks. Expertly modeled after the prototype this beautiful engine is the creation of Mike Ball, who was kind enough to bring it to Wester Pickston, and have it take part in our July open day, pulling passengers around the track.
When another loco developed problems, Mike’s B Class took on two extra carriages, easily pulling four fully laden coaches!
Andrew Gebbie was on hand for the open day, and at other points during the loco’s visit, and has compiled the following film.
