Cecil Raikes and The Major

Post by kudu »

This isn't the ideal forum for this topic but I don't know a better one.

Can anyone please tell me the current situation concerning these ex-Mersey Rly 0-6-4Ts? I presume Cecil Raikes is still in the custody of Liverpool Museums, but where and in what condition and is it publicly accessible? Ditto for The Major, last known at Thirlmere, NSW.

Thanks for any up to date info.

Thanks for these links. I note the Australian one is 7 years old and wonder if there's more recent information. Similarly, I'm not sure whether the Liverpool Museum website is kept updated.
