Fawley Hill Railway - 100 years old Hudswell Clarke 060 Saddle Tank Engine No 31

The sole reason behind organizing of the steam and vintage transport weekend was to celebrate the Centenary of Fawley’s resident Hudswell Clarke 060 Saddle Tank Engine No 31. She has worked for Sir William’s family all her life and for the past 48 years has been happily pulling wagon loads of visitors up the steepest standard gauge gradient in the world at Fawley Hill.
And that day she was happily fulfilling duties with special trains fully loaded with passengers.
This time I was only watching from around the upper section, but when there is another occasion, I will surely try the ride over the whole railway.
