The loco was dropped off in the car park, along with the new coaches, due to the lorry being too big to get to the railway...

Pioneer was built in 1947 by Ken Roswell, and is believed to have run on his private railway at Cross Elms, Bristol. From here it went to Brocklands ( formerly Pixieland) via a short stay with Trago Mills. Originally powered by a Standard Ten engine, it now runs with a Fiat engine and gearbox. The locomotive will be striped down, re-commissioned and restored, and regular updates will be posted on these pages. |
