FAIRBOURNE Railway’s Milner 0-4-0STT Sherpa will be visiting the Ruislip Lido Railway’s May 4-6 Steam Gala.
This will be the first time Sherpa has visited the Middlesex line and only the second time a steam loco has visited the Ruislip Lido Railway, the previous occasion being in May 2023 when rebuilt Exmoor 2-6-2T Christopher visited from the Littlehampton Miniature Railway.
Ruislip’s resident oil-fired steam loco 2-4-0STT Mad Bess will then make a reciprocal visit to North Wales to appear at Fairbourne Railway’s May 25-27 annual steam gala.
