Great to see the railway and tramway in operation again. I think their Kyoto single-truck car is lovely, and the Sharp Stewart 2-4-0T is an absolute gem. I've always had a soft spot for ancient little engines like this, and I'm so happy that she's back in steam. It would my idea of heaven to spend some time on the footplate of No.12! 

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

It seems that my mother will have to put seeing the lobby of the Imperial Hotel back into her trip plan...

 

What of the Baldwin? Being worked on?

 

Incidentally, fans of the trolley car might like the newest release from Arumodel: http://www.arumo.com/

No. 12 running light last month, before re-entering service hauling passengers:

I'd forgotten about that being there - I'm a big fan of FLW's architecture.

Dunno. I'd hope she also gets put back into steam, it's another lovely little engine, from my favourite US builder!

Nice - and tempting!
