 Uploaded with ImageShack.us From the old Alcoy and Gandia Railway and Harbour Company Ltd a English made steam engine with yours truly on the footplate. Permanently displayed outside the present Gandia railway station just a few miles up the road from where I live. 60 tons PA of British coal were exported to Gandia |

Great picture, hopefully the loco is treasured for what it is and for its heritage. Is it an 0-6-0 (or as it is classed on the continent 0-3-0) or are there some very small wheels at the back inside the frame. Britain in its heyday exported many types of locomotives all over the world This loco has a similar appearance to a French built Corpet Louvet. This a G Scale Model of the Louvet.

Check this site out http://trenag.com/english/?paged=4 I used to do guided walking tours on the remains of the track,stations etc. from the port up to Lorcha. I have a DVD of the line in use filmed, by a British enthusiast, within three weeks of closure all the rails and lattice work bridges had been sold off and scrapped. CKP |
