On Thursday, June 28, entertainer Jools Holland visited Pecorama in Beer to perform the honour of naming the 7¼in gauge Beer Heights Light Railway’s newest arrival.
Jools lunched with Peco representatives in the Orion Pullman car after which he was given a whistle-stop tour of the model railway factory in the company of managing director Ben Arnold and Railway Modeller editor Steve Flint, before heading to the Beer Heights main station Much Natter to name newcomer No. 12, an 0-4-2T and a ride on the train.
