The Metro tank also ran on Hadley Town. 
Built by the late Vic Halliwell, it had run on the layout many years ago, soon after Paul Jones built it. 

Bernie would like to thank Alastair for all his help, together with Pete Rigby and Michael Sykes of EMGS for their help at the end.

A Victory class, a Minerva product, wheels reprofiled for Scaleseven but awaiting a repaint, eases a short freight through Tŷ’n-y-Coedcae in the Caerphilly direction.

As well as having show halls, Statfold also has the real thing. A special train for exhibitors was organised.
