	Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This half size replica of S.R. #24 was purchased in 1997 with the intention of operating her on the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway in Lincolnshire.
		I was impressed, however, the loco had been built to operate on a two mile long railway with pretty light grades yet here she was pulling heavy trains on a nine mile line with a steady up gradient from one end to the other and certain stretches of 1:76.
		At Cleethorpes, we had been in need of a further steam loco to join the rosta for some time, and when it became known that #24 was up for sale it was an opertunity not to be missed thus, the 'Sandy River No. 24 Company Limited' came into being and the deal was done.
