Snow Street

'The Doll' at Bressingham, 1969 Bought for the opening in 1966 of the Nursery Railway, it was over gauge for the ex-Welsh quarry track and an ex-quarry locomotive hastily procured in its stead. Some sources state that it was sold on in 1968, whether true or not it was still here in early 1969. It is now at the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway, renamed just 'Doll', for no obvious reason. An Andrew Barclay product of 1919, works number 1641.
