7 1/4 inch Gauge Romulus "Harpford Belle"
Owner, Ian Shanks
Ian purchased his Romulus named Harpford Belle from Station Road Steam
in October 2010. The loco had been built for its original owner
who unfortuantely found that it was too large for his requirements, so
he promptly sold it. As a result Ian's Romulus, although second
hand is actually a new locomotive. Having done some research to
trace the history of the locomotive Ian discovered that it was built by
the same man who had built the Dave Curtis's Romulus "Sylvia" which has
been a mainstay of the Pinewood Society's passenger hauling fleet for
almost ten years. Although Ian is now based in Chesterfield he is
still a member of the society and hopes to bring the locomotive to
Pinewood sometime to run it on our track.
