Wendy at Hayling Seaside Railway (3) - 26 August 2013

Wendy is a 2' gauge 0-4-0ST Quarry Bagnall owned by the Hampshire Narrow Gauge Railway Trust (HNGRT) and is on loan to the Hayling Seaside Railway to help them with celebrations of their 10th anniversary and to take part in events marking the 50th anniversary of the closure of the Havant - Hayling Island branch. When I arrived at Beachlands on this occasion, Wendy was being steamed for operation but, unfortunately, it was later announced on Facebook that she was unwell and a diesel service continued. With Hayling reasonably busy on a bank holiday Monday, an extra train ran at 1015. Thank you to the staff of the Hayling Seaside Railway for making me welcome.
