The Stackton Tressel Light Rly. - Locomotive Stud.

Hi,
I thought I might share with the forum the locos on the roster of the Stackton Tressel Lt Rly. (My Garden Railway)
The S.T.Lt.Rly. is still under construction but my loco collection is growing fast....
First is "ALBERTA" an early Roundhouse Jack Class.
This engine was purchased second hand from Simon Whenmouth, fully lined but a little tired.
She has since been to Rhos Helyg Locomotive Works http://www.rhoshelyg.me.uk where she has received a much needed overhaul.
Work at Rhos Helyg included - Bodywork, Paintwork & Chassis Timing etc.
Many thanks Tony, I've already got more work lined up for Rhos Helyg. I would thoroughly recommend his services.
Now back with us (and also fitted with a Chuffer) she is photographed on a stretch of the old trackbed.
Second is "CHRISTOPHER" 003 from the limited batch of 100, the 2010 Roundhouse Jack Class.
Again purchased second hand, I was so delighted with the Grey colour that I feel any form of lining would spoil it.
However, enhancements of my own include Nameplates & Blackened handrails etc.
I think the two locos make a wonderful contrast of the RH Jack Class.
More to follow....
