Are Aim
• Are aim is to get enough
money to rebuild the
Leighton Buzzard and
Luton Branch line witch

Are Narrow Gauge Loco’s
• We Look after and own a variety of different
2f gauge narrow gauge locos they are
running most Sundays with help from the
Leighton Buzzard Railway Society. The locos
are: Taffy (Ours), Dolbadarn (Ours), Rishra,
Peter Wood (Diesel), Pixi, Paddy, Charloner
and Alice.
Taffy (OURS)
• Taffy a 2 ft gauge De Winton replica 0-4-0 VBT VC, was
built by Alan Keef of Ross on Wye, and plated in 1990,
with a works number of 30.
• Owner and driver Hayden Gell, and his crew are always
kept extremely busy with Taffy, and are very pleased
with the public response.
Dolbadarn (OURS)
• No. 3 DOLBADARN. Hunslet No. 1430, built in 1922. This
was one of a pair of locomotives supplied new to the
harbour at Port Dinorwic for shunting on the quays.
Here it was simply known as No. 2 but, in 1936, it was
transferred to the quarry at Llanberis, and in 1946 the
name Dolbadarn was fitted. The engine worked in the
quarry until 1967, being one of the last steam engines
to work in a slate quarry in Britain .
Rishra
• 0-4-0T Rishra (works number 2007) was built in 1921
by Baguley Cars Ltd. It was repatriated from its Indian
resting place at a water works in Kolkata (Calcutta) by
Michael Satow, the founder of the Indian Railways
Museum in New Delhi.
• She is one of only two preserved locomotives fitted
with Baguley valve gear, similar to the Bagnall-Price
gear which was adopted by Bagnall after Ernest E.
Baguley left that firm.
Charloner

No.1 Chaloner 0-4-0VBT De Winton n/a 1877
Penyrorsedd slate quarry, north Wales Worked at the
Penybryn quarry until 1881 then Penyrorsedd until
1960. Purchased by Alfred Fisher and transferred to
Leighton Buzzard in 1968. Too small for regular use
but used on gala days. Currently in service.

in 1957; entered
service at Leighton
Buzzard in 1969. Has

loan at the Devon
Railway Centre and

LBNGR.
Paddy
 Paddy has been newly built by our member Dave Potter
and friends and is a vertical-boilered design based around
an existing steam piling engine and a Clarkson Thimble
boiler. The general arrangement is of an outside framed 04-0, with the two cylinder engine sitting vertically on the
frames ahead of the boiler, and driving the leading axle
through spur gears. All the water and coal are carried on
the tender. As many original components as possible are
used, including a regulator from a steam crane, and a
prominent water feed pump on the footplate. However, the
loco frames, wheelsets and tender are all newly
