A Day with the Baldwin
8th August 2007

A few Amberley RailGroup members went to the Leighton Buzzard Railway to see Baldwin 4-6-0PT No. 778 in steam. This engine was previously at Amberley, hence our visit to see her in steam.

Orenstein & Koppel built 0-6-0T No. 740. A very large and mechanically interesting engine. Weighing in at 18 tonnes and having radial axles so that it can 'steer' round tight curves.

Baguley built 0-4-0T 'Rishra', the only known survivor of her class. A bit on the small side for 2 ft gauge, a possible future visitor to Amberley?

Some once used boilers from the railway's steam fleet. The one nearest camera was from Rishra.
