Steam train to come out of retirement at Heatherslaw [Berwick Advertiser]





Date: 28/02/2015

It had been thought a much-loved steam engine had reached the end of the line when it was put into retirement at the end of last year. Much to the delight of train enthusiasts young and old, however, Lady Augusta is poised to make a comeback at Heatherslaw Light Railway. [From Richard Buckby]
