A ride on Poole parks brand new steam engine, "George"!

A ride on George, Poole parks brand new steamer! During the weeks before George arrived, the railway had a smaller steam engine as a stand in, whilst they were awaiting their own. Then, about a month later, it arrived! The last steam engine the railway had, was sold in 1997, leaving only the HST diesel. Quite a few years on, and a diesel engine, that looked like it was steam, was bought by the railway. This was sold on soon after. Again the diesel was alone, and was soon painted a plain childish red, with its headlights removed. But since the new arrivel, the HST has been painted in a very stylish Eurostar livery which really suits the engine. Another good point, is they now have 2 engines running at the time, while one waits at the station, the other does the circuit, and then there is a swap over. A steam engine was all the railway needed to improve, and now the railway is amed at all ages, and is much more respectable! Well one to the owners!
