    The Groudle Glen Railway - July 24, 2022

    MALTBY was built by Baguley (works No. 3232 of 1947) and once worked at Butlins Clacton Holiday Camp. During its time at Butlins, it featured on the closing credits of the situation comedy Hi-de-Hi!. After the Clacton Holiday Camp closed, it was purchased by the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, and ran on the Lynbarn Railway at the Milky Way theme park in Clovelly and was named PARRACOMBE. The locomotive arrived at the Groudle Glen Railway in 2007. It hauled a limited number of passenger services as part of an enthusiasts event in July 2007 and was then stored pending restoration. The locomotive was renamed MALTBY when it re-entered service in December 2017, after the creator of Groudle Glen Railway, Richard Maltby Broadbent. Photographs of The Groudle Glen Railway taken during the Branch Line Society visit on July 24, 2022.
