Seen here on Charlton Road Viaduct at Recreation Railways' debut event August 2009.

 

 

 

Acquired in April 2009, Tinkerbell No. 3 was received just in time to work services at the Cranmore Miniature Railway for the formal opening ceremony. Later in 2009 she became the first steam locomotive to cross Charlton Road Viaduct in 63 years at the event which launched Recreation Railways.

Tinkerbell No. 4

Seen here shortly before acquisition by Recreation Railways.

 

 

 

Acquired in November, 2010, following the closure of the Pheasant Line at Lackham. Tinkerbell No. 4 is a freelance single Fairlie design and welcome addition to the Recreation Railways fleet, not least because of her lighter weight compared to sister locomotive No. 3.
