''Parracombe'' is the name of a steam outline Baguley diesel locomotive that currently resides on the Groudle Glen Railway on the Isle of Man in private ownership. It has not operated in service on the railway since arriving in 2007 from the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway in Devon, where it had seen service on the Lynbarn Railway at the Milky Way theme park in Clovelly. It was built by Baguley (works No. 3232 of 1947) and once worked at Butlins Clacton Holiday Camp, from where it featured on the closing credits to the situation comedy ''Hi-de-Hi!'' in the 1980s. Currently in store, it performed a very limited number of passenger services as part of an enthusiasts event in July 2007. It's planned that in the coming years, when finances permit, the locomotive will be rebuilt and returned to service. A very similar loco "Dreadnought" operates infrequently at Amerton Railway in Staffordshire ==References== * * ''Manx Steam Railway News'' Journal of the Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters' Association 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parracombe (locomotive)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
