Hauling this unusual train is 'Trangkil' No.4 at Statfold Barn Farm Railway. A comprehensive multi-gauge private railway near Tamworth, Stafffs, during 2007. Trangkil was the last industrial steam locomotive built in Britain by Hunslet & Co. of Leeds in 1971. Trangkil was originally built to 750 mm gauge and supplied by Robert Hudson for use on the Trangkil sugar mill estate on the island of Java in Indonesia, where it worked for 33 years until made redundant by dieselisation and then was returned to the UK in 2004 to become part of the Statfold collection. During a thorough overhaul in the Statfold workshops this loco was re-gauged to 2’0” (610 mm). A scan from my original Kodak slide.
