A little more info for you, it was built in 1981 at Tucktonia nr Christchurch, Hants which closed around 1985 (i think), and the railway moved to the then new moors valley country park. It's basicaly a Tinkerbell chassis turned round (it has the same power as a Tink) to make it a 2-4-0 and a tender added, it's due to have a new, larger boiler fitted in the near future. More info is on the swanley new barn website
@CUMMINGSDIESEL Also, she is not out of service and shall go into the workshop soon, her new boiler has arrived and when she is completed she should be more powerfull
@CUMMINGSDIESEL large new boiler, meaning 4 inchs longer than the original :D. not that much at all realy. but will still provide more power. what day was this?
I thought it was a Roger Marsh Original tink design?
