I've been too busy to make stuff for the blog for the last few weeks, so here's a random photo from the recent Statfold Barn model railway show - a pair of Simplex locos in a barn. If anyone can explain the odd high roof on the right hand one, I'd be fascinated.
Hi Phil.The loco came from Esso's Fawley refinery and became part of the Hampshire Narrow Gauge Railway Society in 1961 where a cab was added. The roof matches the bonnet out line. The cab windows are from both a BR class five and a merchant navy loco! Ref.The Calshot and Fawley Narrow Gauge Railways.F.W.Cooper FBIM FIIM Plateway Press
