    As I understand it the colour schemes are pretty ad-hoc. When I first saw Whillan Beck it was Burgundy red but I don't mind it in Blue.

    Currently it is our Brooklyn's favourite 15" gauge loco

    he still loves the museum at Ravenglass and sitting on the footplate of Synolda

    If he could take it home he would!

    Brooklyn wrapped up against the weather with his favourite loco Willan Beck

    The 4-6-2 was built by Krauss Maffei in 1929

    River Esk dating from 1923 eases onto the Ravenglass turntable and is spun by human power

    River Mite waits for its turn on the turntable. The triple header needed allthe locos turning individually of course

    A view inside the museum with Synolda, Little Giant and Typhoon on display

    The luxury camping coaches. Two vintage Pullmans that have been retored and tastefully modernised

    Highly rated by people who have stayed in them
