Rudyard Lake Steam Railway

The weather wasn't all that good for visiting this, and a Friday wasn't a great day as very little was open. The title is also a misnomer as they were running a diesel that day. To be fair there weren't many people about and there was just one person doing everything from taking the money to driving the loco.

Strictly speaking Rudyard Lake, which gave it's name to Mr Kipling (the writer, not the baker), isn't a lake it's a reservoir built to supply water to the local canal system.

Loco Lift

They're only small locos but this is quite unusual
