Hobby Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 If you look at the WLLR website you will see they are hoping to get an Austrian U Class for a couple of years. Hopefully arriving by the Gala Weekend. (Sorry no link as I am on my phone!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted July 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2019 That'll be worth a visit. Possibly on the Sunday of the Gala. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 It arrived yesterday: Just to prove that the Lilliput mode's removable chimney is prototypical! They were lubricating it when I was there and then shunted it into the bay. At some point it's being moved to Llanfair where it'll get checked out (boiler thickness, etc.,) to ensure it's safe to use. It's not guaranteed it'll be running at the Gala but they are hoping so. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mcowgill Posted August 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2019 You can tell it's an early variant of the Liliput U class, you have to unscrew the chimney to dismantle it... Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Slightly different to the Lilliput version as it unbolts rather than unscrews!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
009 micro modeller Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Will it be running regularly while it’s in Wales? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 If all the checks go well then yes. They have a contract with the Zillertalbahn for two years, my post earlier with a link to the WLLR website has the full details. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium The White Rabbit Posted December 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2019 And in more typically Welsh weather, four snaps from Llanfair Caereinion. There had been heavy rain in the early-mid morning, when we'd got to LC it had (more or less) stopped raining, so I tried some arty ones including reflections in the puddles. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 We went on one of the Mince Pie Specials at the end of December which, due to a fault with Countess (no, it was not me that sabotaged it!) Zillertal was allocated instead. So we had a trip in the MAV coach (wheelchair accessible now so Jennie came along) with three Austrian 4 wheelers on the back. Unfortunately my photos didn't come out (in fact they've disappeared) so after yesterdays trip to Ilton I picked up 3 Ziller coaches and made up the same train in HOe! Here it is on Ostrovia! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
