A visit to the Fawley Hill Estate for there Vintage transport festival on the 18th of May.
This was a great event with a wide variety of cars, buses, trucks, traction engines and even a tank!
I've been looking forward to visiting Fawley hill for ages, as the 1 in 13 gradient is somewhat infamous, as its the steepest adhesion railway in the UK.
When I heard rumours that the railway was potentially closing, I knew i had to go.
Enjoy

If this is the estate/railway once owned by Sir William McAlpine (and I think it is) there is a slight association with one of the Scout Groups in my District. I have been a Scout Leader in our district (Lambeth) for many, many years and a friend of ours - sadly passed away in 2011 - was a Scout Leader at another Scout Group. He was McAlpine's long time driver. (Chauffeur) Over the years McAlpine invited his Scout Group (1st Streatham Common), to come and ride the railway. Now I know what it looked like and the steepness of the climb! Good work guys.

Yep this is McAlpine's estate. I can imagine that being quite a cool scout trip. Hope you enjoyed

No not at all. She is a Witch class locomotives built by Kerr Stuart in Stoke and worked in Stoke gas works. She now resides at the foxfield railway in Blythe bridge.

@@benforster6254 I guess they are similar in the sense they were both built by Ker Stewart, that and they share a similar design.
