A little full sized from my side of the pond...don't know what type the loco is, but it looks like it might be worth a visit when it's up and running. Very Happy

What a grand loco, three foot gauge.  She used to work on the West Clare Railway.  Some further info on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Clare_Railway and lots of photos on the Clare County Library website http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/history/railway.htm
