On behalf of our colleagues at the Apedale Heritage Centre, the Moseley Railway Trust is selling a Ruhrthaler diesel loco; 750mm gauge, it’s a big beast, weighing in at 12 tons. It’s on e-bay here.

The objective is to raise money to allow the completion of the reconstruction of the North Staff Rly station building from Silverdale – this will be the point of departure for the MRT’s Apedale Valley Light Railway. If you’re interested, or can support completing this building, get in touch here.
