Thanks! It is a really nice size loco- not too small and not too big! By the amount of carriages pulled it is really quite powerfull for its size!

Hi DebenValleyLightRail, we are both right, when I made the video (1991) it was called George Sholto. But today her name is Bill Harvey. Here is what I found: From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group: George Sholto Quarry Hunslet No.994. Built 1909. Worked at Penrhyn Quarries and it now runs at Bressingham Gardens in Norfolk. It is now named BILL HARVEY. Take care. Henry

This is bill harvey not gearge sholto! Nice footage, the museum has changed quite a bit. When I was younger they were not running the standard gauge but they are doing again now which is great!

I drive the Nursery Railway, it's very saddening to see how the state of the track has deteriorated since this video was taken. There is now a 5MPH speed limit along most of the Nursery line now, with 3MPH limits on some of the worst sections, it is in desperate need of attention. I think the late Alan Bloom would weep to see what has become of his pride and joy, even the nursery is a shadow of its former self, nothing more than a garden centre.
