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 !
