The Ravenglass Eskdale Railway is renowned for its picturesque location in the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. For over a century, this railway has been faithfully recreating a narrow gauge line that once hauled coal from the local mines to the industrial centers of the region.
Now, you can own a tangible piece of that history with the "River Mite" locomotive, built in 1989 and lovingly restored to its original glory. Measuring just over four feet long, this diminutive engine is an engineering marvel, featuring a streamlined body and impressive traction system. With only seven engines built between 1902 and 1971, you're one of the select few who can boast of owning this rare model.
Featuring 35mm slide photography from the railway's archives, this locomotive is a true gem for any enthusiast or collector. Whether you're visiting the station to marvel at its beauty or displaying it proudly in your home, "River Mite" is sure to be a conversation starter. Its unique history and engineering make it an exceptional addition to any collection.
