BBR #8 ~ 1F 0-6-0T "Hilda"

 The BBR has acquired another loco.  I've had this model for awhile,  but it was lettered for the LMS.  Purchased secondhand, for the pricey sum of $125 USD.  It took a little re-working,  a set of new gears kindly supplied by Mr. Tinsnips,  and now she's ready for service.  

 The name "Hilda" comes from another of our Boxer canine family members.  This was a loco I felt a small independent railway would have for it's own, ancient, used, and most importantly, reasonably affordable !  She runs great and will be a welcome addition by the staff I'm sure.  The local lads already approve !
