ex-dobwalls big boy & other locos

more film of the ex-dobwalls big boy at plowmans nursery, dorset. also with a couple of clips Queen of Nabraska in the workshop, one of the diesels, Pionner and a ride round the circuit. This was filmed in Jan 2009, unfortunatly due to planning issues the railway isn't running at the moment and I'm not sure if or when it will be running again *update* the loco's have now been sold and are Australia

@mrsoouter yep, they were like caged animals there, hopefully they'll have a decent run on their new railway in oz

@CUMMINGSDIESEL

They have a big track to run on here in Australia and are being lovingly cared for.

What is the story with this railway today? May 2010

[CUMMINGSDIESEL]

@TrevorHeath as far as i know the locos have been sold and are either on their way to australia or will be very soon, i'm guessing to same place that brought the other loco, General Palmer. so what will happen to the railway now is anyones guess

So sad to hear that the collection has been sold to Oz. A real loss to the UK!

@TrevorHeath Engines have been sold and shipped to Australia to a chap who lives alongside the Puffing Billy Railway. We haven't heard whether the new railway will be open to the public. There are also unconfirmed reports that possibly a couple of the locos were damaged in transit

hi my last responce came out a bit bad as i managed to miss lead some people they way i worded it and im sorry about this as i did affend ian so sorry the correction is that the reason he left weren't high level stuff as this was rumor and i kind of miss understood but was due to other reasons not pedofile which was wat people thought i ment also the track at our site isn't that bad at all it was only that the loco came off in sidings and points on occsions which is wat happens with big locos

[CUMMINGSDIESEL]
