January Extra Newsletter 1975: Locomotive

Here is a little extra newsletter with a very good reason. We have managed to find an engine for the railway. We have found a class 14 Diesel-hydraulic number 9509. It was bought by a private owner in 1970 and put into storage at Cardiff. He had plans on restoring it but never come around to it and now he is willing to sell it to us. It might not be an engine often seen in our region, but compering it to the good condition and the price, we won't get a better engine.

Therefore we would like to start an appeal to raise the funds necessary to buy the locomotive and transport it to Langdale station. Please help by donating.
