  7. We Look after and own a variety of different 2f gauge narrow gauge locos they are running most Sundays with help from the Leighton Buzzard Railway Society. The locos are: Taffy (Ours), Dolbadarn (Ours), Rishra, Peter Wood (Diesel), Pixi, Paddy, Charloner and Alice. Are Narrow Gauge Loco’s

  8. Taffy a 2 ft gauge De Winton replica 0-4-0 VBT VC, was built by Alan Keef of Ross on Wye, and plated in 1990, with a works number of 30. Owner and driver Hayden Gell, and his crew are always kept extremely busy with Taffy, and are very pleased with the public response. Taffy (OURS)

  9. No. 3 DOLBADARN. Hunslet No. 1430, built in 1922. This was one of a pair of locomotives supplied new to the harbour at Port Dinorwic for shunting on the quays. Here it was simply known as No. 2 but, in 1936, it was transferred to the quarry at Llanberis, and in 1946 the name Dolbadarn was fitted. The engine worked in the quarry until 1967, being one of the last steam engines to work in a slate quarry in Britain . Dolbadarn (OURS)

  10. 0-4-0T Rishra (works number 2007) was built in 1921 by Baguley Cars Ltd. It was repatriated from its Indian resting place at a water works in Kolkata (Calcutta) by Michael Satow, the founder of the Indian Railways Museum in New Delhi. She is one of only two preserved locomotives fitted with Baguley valve gear, similar to the Bagnall-Price gear which was adopted by Bagnall after Ernest E. Baguley left that firm. Rishra

  11. No.1 Chaloner 0-4-0VBT De Winton n/a 1877 Penyrorsedd slate quarry, north Wales Worked at the Penybryn quarry until 1881 then Penyrorsedd until 1960. Purchased by Alfred Fisher and transferred to Leighton Buzzard in 1968. Too small for regular use but used on gala days. Currently in service. Charloner

  12. No. 2 Pixie 0-4-0ST Kerr Stuart 4260 1922 Devon County Council, Wilminstone Quarry One of 27 of the Wren class ordered for a sewer contract in Essex, sold to Devon County Council in 1929. Purchased by the Industrial Locomotive Society in 1957; entered service at Leighton Buzzard in 1969. Has previously been on loan at the Devon Railway Centre and has now returned to LBNGR. Pixie

  13. Paddy has been newly built by our member Dave Potter and friends and is a vertical-boilered design based around an existing steam piling engine and a Clarkson Thimble boiler. The general arrangement is of an outside framed 0-4-0, with the two cylinder engine sitting vertically on the frames ahead of the boiler, and driving the leading axle through spur gears. All the water and coal are carried on the tender. As many original components as possible are used, including a regulator from a steam crane, and a prominent water feed pump on the footplate. However, the loco frames, wheelsets and tender are all newly constructed.  Paddy
