Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST

[@marionbloom1218]

Easily the best short-haul steamer ever made. As evidenced by the fact that many companies were still demanding new ones up into the mid 1960's, when there had been plenty of good diesel options available (including from Hunslet themselves) for 15 years - and still many in use into the 1980s. Forgiving to fire, easy to drive, mostly quite easy to maintain, little to go wrong and fantastic pulling power for an engine of its compact size. Hunslet really knew what they were doing with this product!

Did I spy an S160 at 6:15?

[@benforster6254]

Yes you did when whiston went for a visit at a railway close to her home in Staffordshire. The s160 is owned by the Churnet Vally railway. They currently have 1 in operation and 2 under overhaul

Wimblebury sounds decidedly off beat.
