The 120 year old Groudle Glen Railway, running on 2ft gauge track, was in operation once again during the 2016 Manx Transport Festival week in July 2016; running an unusual daytime operation on Wednesday 27th (as opposed to it's regular Summer evening timetable of 7pm to 9pm), and another daytime service on Saturday 30th.
Keeping company with the railway's resident Bagnall 2-4-0 tank Sea Lion, was a former resident and old friend. Fellow Bagnall tank Polar Bear was making a short visit to it's former home, from her regular base at the Amberley Industrial Museum in Sussex. (As well as the steam powered Polar Bear, there is also a brief cameo from her battery-powered replacement.) Polar Bear is not likely to return to the island again for some time to come, hence the 'Brown Bear' locomotive being built as it's replacement. For more info, visit http://www.ggr.org.uk
The following footage shows the two locos in action between Lhen Coan and Sea Lion Rocks, with Lime Kiln Halt and Head Land Loop being featured as well.
