This weeks Throwback Thursday takes us back to October 2015 as we see Mad Bess in steam on the Ruislip Lido Railway.
Mad Bess and the Ruislip Lido Railway
Mad Bess is 2–4–0 saddle tank locomotive built by the Society between 1986 and 1998.
The loco is based on Blanche from the Ffestiniog Railway and joins the other 6 Diesel Locomotives based at the Ruislip Lido Railway.
The Ruislip Lido Railway is Britain’s longest 12 inch gauge railway, based in Ruislip, West London. At over 1 mile long, the railway runs from Willow Lawn Station to Woody Bay (For the sheds and Lido).
