FOR SALE: A Jim Crow rail bender. This scarce item was obtained to start laying the track for the Springfield Agricultural Railway about 4 years ago. This has been used to bend most of the trackwork on the railway and copes easily with 20lb rail and 25lb rail and may be able to cope with heavier weight rail than this. The screw is approx 52mm diameter. This is now surplus to requirements and so is up for sale. It just needs a forge iron bar to operate (which is not included in the sale). It is approx 15kg in weight and approx 19.5 inches wide so I'd prefer if it was collected but methods of posting could be discussed. Please contact Steve at the email address on the right. Price: £290.00.

FOR PART EXCHANGE: Alan Keef No.9 is a 3.5 tonne hydrostatic loco of 2ft gauge built in 1983 powered by a 3 cylinder ST3 Lister engine. The engine is rated at 30bhp 22.4kw. The loco is in good working order and starts first time, although currently it has to be started by hot wiring across contacts because the ignition switch needs rewiring. The loco has been in recent industrial use for Midland Irish Peat in Ireland and was purchased earlier in the year with a view to removing or reducing down the cab as the loco was built with a full height cab to allow the driver to stand while driving. The total height is approx 8ft. However, I have decided against altering the loco as I'd like to see it kept in its orginal condition and in this form does not fit into the loco sheds. Also the loco is slightly on the heavy side for the railway here.I would like to part exchange this loco for a Motor Rail, Lister, or something similar below 3 tonnes in weight. It may be the exchange could be for a working loco plus a restoration project, or possibly a couple of restoration projects. If interested can you please email any proposals to the address opposite preferably including reasonable photos, and I will send further photos and details by return if it is of interest. SOLD
