This time, French metre gauge railways. The H&DLR has owned a Corpet-Louvet 0-6-0 for some 20 years, and over that time it has been a useful engine. Latterly, being battery powered, it has tended only to come out in winter when the track is too grimy to run track powered trains. During a recent battery powered operating session, the lack of genuinely appropriate rolling stock became rather too apparent.
But with Christmas on the horizon, and some relatively recent LGB models of French prototypes still available, this was soon rectified.
