Down to nowhere
"Druid"
A scene on the much missed Abbey Light Railway, Kirkstall, near Leeds. "Druid" is seen at the terminus of the line near Kirkstall Abbey. The loco was a rebuild from Motor Rail works number 8644 built in 1941. This was one of the 20/28 H.P. "plate frame" type and this example went new to the Ministry of Defence. It moved to Alne Tile Works, before entering preservation at the private Creekmoor Light Railway, Poole. When it moved to the Abbey Light Railway, it was heavily rebuilt there, emerging in 1999 as their works number 6. With the demise of the Abbey Light Railway in 2012, the loco moved initially to the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway but has now moved to the Pen-Y-Bryn Railway, another private railway.
