Fawley Hill Railway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![Scene on Sir William McAlpine's private railway at Fawley Hill, near Henley On Thames on 8 July 2001. The locomotive in action here is a Hudswell-Clarke 0-6-0ST named 'Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons No 81'. The ascent into the station on what is effectively a large 'garden railway' is both highly audible and enjoyable. The railway can be visited by invitation or via a club/society party booking. The collection of railwayana and other transport delights must be seen to be believed.<br><br>[Peter Todd 08/07/2001]](/images/32000/32731.jpg "Fawley Hill House")

![After a vigorous day celebrating its 100th birthday at a massive public garden party, 'Sir Robert McAlpine No. 31' coasts down into the shed at Fawley Hill on 18th May. The sign on the right reading 'Beware of Shunting' seems appropriate.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 18/05/2013]](/images/43000/43147.jpg "Fawley Hill")
![I like this engine. It's got at least one of everything. 'Sir Vincent' poses in front of the museum at Fawley Hill on 18 May (notice the model airship to the left). [see also image 44726]<br><br>[Ken Strachan 18/05/2013]](/images/43000/43190.jpg "Fawley Hill")
![<I>'Thank you for asking Michael, it's quite the most comfortable saddle tank I've ever sat on'</I>. Hunslet 554 <I>Lilla</I>, a 23.5 inch gauge 0-4-0 built in 1891 for the Cilgwyn Slate Co. of Nanntle, provides a supporting role at this year's McAlpine garden party.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 18/05/2013]](/images/43000/43578.jpg "Fawley Hill")
![Patina personified - the maker's plate on Lilla [see image 43578]. The white infill appears to be a build-up of brass polish. Hunslet's marketing manager recently told me that their first export engine went to Java; the customer liked it so much that they bought another one just like it - 105 years later!<br><br>[Ken Strachan 18/05/2013]](/images/43000/43604.jpg "Plates, signs and notices")
