Waterworks Railway at the London Museum of Water & Steam

Many Victorian waterworks had their own railway. At Kew Bridge this is demonstrated by a short line featuring the "Wren" class locomotive Thomas Wicksteed, which is typical of a waterworks engine. This locomotive was completed in 2009 and is currently the newest working steam locomotive in the United Kingdom. Also featured is Alister, a 3 cylinder Lister diesel locomotive of 1957. Thomas Wicksteed is in steam every weekend the Museum is in operation.

I love the lady driver at 1:35 - she handles it so gently - just like the little Wren.

Agreed !! It makes a refreshing change to see a lady in control. Regards Paul
