IIRC three railway works n.g. locos have survived. Two steam : Horwich Works ‘Pet’ and Crewe Works ‘Wren’ and one diesel : Horwich Works ZM32. Chesterton Jct. PW works had two n.g. Simplex locos but no idea if either have survived.

The Lößnitzgrundbahn from Radebeul Ost in the outskirts of Dresden has some stretches of street running. Not quite so spectacular as the Mollibahn though where you can sit drinking a beer within touching distance of the loco.

NEVER get rid of your originals.

That didn't last long. The microphone is yours.

Roger Chapman was the lead singer of which prog rock band?
