Bored? Fed up of hearing your relatives' obnoxious opinions? Beginning to see things after the eighth glass of sherry (don't worry, that's quite normal)? Why not have a go at Part One of the Moseley Railway Trust Christmas Quiz. Once again, a glittering prize is on offer - provided you nip down to Cash Converters with a housebrick. How it works is simples. All the pictures shown snippets of locomotives which should be familiar to anyone who knows the MRT fleet - or some of the locos more obliquely associated with the Apedale site. All you need to do is determine which loco the snippet is from. Simples. Get in touch here when you think you know the answers. The more incorrect ones will be ridiculed. Round two will be significantly more tricky. Be afraid, be very afraid.
The Trust's aim is to build a museum and a railway to display its collection of industrial narrow gauge equipment that has been gathered from various industries around the UK in the last 30 years, and in doing so we aim to educate and entertain both the general public and the railway enthusiast.
The Industrial Narrow Gauge Railway is an unusual aspect of British Industrial Heritage that is now almost extinct. These small, self-contained railway systems were often hidden away from the general public and served such diverse industries as brickmaking, sewage works, munitions factories, mines, civil engineering and many more.
