WG Bagnall 4-4-0T 'Isibutu' coasts down from Oak Tree Halt hauling a freight on the Lower Line bound for the Balloon Loop at the Statfold Barn Railway on 9th June 2018. Descending alongside is the Statfold 'Goose' Railcar on the Upper Line also bound for the Balloon Loop. At the top of the incline Hunslet 0-6-0WT No. 11 'Fiji' waits at the rear of a working back to Statfold Station on the Upper Line hauled by Am Jung 0-4-4-0T 'SF Djatibarang', just visible behind the Railcar. Meanwhile Burton & Ashby 4 wheeled double deck tram No. 14 is boarding passengers at Oak Tree Halt prior to working back to the Tram Depot. Also of interest is the mixed gauge 2ft and 2ft 6inch track in front of 'Isibutu' who is running on the 2ft section to the right of the formation.
