USA S160 and Taff Vale Tank 85
Both simmer in the early summer sunshine at Haworth
Another little and large
War Dept 90733 and its little friend
We had a guest engine on Friday from Holland
90733 had a little friend for comparison
The chaps who had built it were visiting from
Holland
As you can see superbly engineered
90733 is the only surviving 2-8-0
A superb model
Well done Holland. I believe 90733 was originally
shipped to Holland after the invasion and served on
Netherlands rails till sold and shipped to Sweden
where it languished till rescued by the K&WVR
