What about Jonathan aka Bernstein?[edit]

I'm writing an article about the Hunslet Alice Class in the German Wikipedia, and Jonathan is about the only one of the 13 locomotives which seems to have disappeared. It is mentioned on the website of West Lancashire Light Railway and there is a picture on the start page, but Jonathan isn't contained in the loco list, and it isn't even mentioned in this Wikipedia article. Then there is this strange picture of a 2003 event, but taken in October 2007. If the latter is correct, the loco at least existed until some months ago...

I couldn't find out anything more with Google. Does anybody know, where Jonathan is and in which condition? --FritzG (talk) 00:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Answer[edit]

I'm a member at the West Lancs and formerly a volunteer with Lytham St Annes Railway Society who met at Dock Road Motive Power Museum. The owner of Bernstein owns the company 'Helical Springs' in Lytham where the museum is situated and Bernstein has moved from the West Lancs to this museum. This was in 2004/5 I think, the reason for the 2007 date will be dodgy setting up of the camera, the website automatically picks up this information from the digital camera. Sadly the museum is not open to the public as it once was.

This is a picture of the loco at the museum pre-West Lancs days. Simon Moore simonmoore44@yahoo.co.uk

Which is right?[edit]

430 yards (393 m) versus 0.43 miles (0.69 km). The latter is about double the first. Peter Horn User talk 18:51, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed this by consulting the railway's own website. Amazing nobody spotted this discrepancy for literally years! -- Dr Greg talk 22:21, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
