The lavender line is a preserved railway in east Sussex where I am a diesel driver.
Heres some of the stock including the last of the thumpers (DEMU) that we have just got.

I will get some more shots next time I am down there, though I dont know about action shots from the cab. There is little more boring than driving a train, once you are going that is it, nothing to do until you have to stop.

Beautiful shunter. A British made critter? Know who made it? Other shots nice too!
As far as we know it was built by british army apprentices during or shortly after WW2.

Hi I Just found this forum, and I'm a member of the engineering staff at Isfield (Lavender Line). The Lavender Line As far as I'm aware, Planet No 015 was built by F. C. Hibberd & Co Ltd. I'm not aware of any army apprentice connection. The Kitson 0-6-0 "Austin 1" is owned by the Llangollen Railway in Wales and is on hire to us while our own locomotive "Blackie" is restored. For anyone interested there are lots of good pictures of our line at Nikki's Gallery @ Fotopic.Net There are a few there so some searching is required.
