Siân on the Bure Valley Railway - 1991
Siân was one of the two locos which worked on the Fairbourne, before it was re-gauged from 15 inches to 12 and a quarter. Sister loco Katie followed it to Cleethorpes in the mid-nineties. This sequence is from some video of unknown parentage and shows Sian at the Bure Valley Railway, in the days when it carried the Americanized superstructure it was given latterly at Fairbourne.
The loco later arrived at the CCLR, along with sister Kate which had been staying at Haigh Hall park near Wigan.
It has spent some time, now in its rebuilt-to-original-form on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway.
However, due to the R&ER's new 'Safety' policy Siân has moved back to Windmill Farm, Burscough Bridge, Lancashire.
Siân is booked to appear at the Kirklees' 'Old Friends' weekend on 12th & 13th September 2009.
