Darjeeling Locomotive 19B
The Darjeeling Tank Locomotive Trust are delighted to be able to say that, “we have succeeded in our goal of securing 19B along with the two blue carriages for everyone.”
19B is at Statfold Barn Railway with the two blue carriages and has been used last summer at Statfold, along with all the other 2ft gauge locos on site.
19B has been stripped down for it’s 10 year overhaul in the workshop, it is hoping that it will be running again this summer depending on the condition of the boiler and may not be viewable whilst in the workshop.
Statfold is open to the public (see their website)
Statfold Barn website is at
