RAILWAY GALA WEEKEND
12/13 July 2008
It was LISTERMANIA!!
Nine visiting Lister Railtrucks landed by various means on the Amberley 2-foot tracks. Thanks to the supreme efforts of Graham Feldwick, from the Twyford Waterworks Trust, who did a great job enticing the owners of nine Lister Railtrucks to bring their machines to the Museum.
That made a total of 11 locomotives - we think the largest number ever at one location in preservation.
