You joke but we have Welsh Ponys old frames and boiler in the waggon tracks shed. We contemplated if it would be possible to put them on...
I think the fact it sheared off one of the crank webs was the final nail in the coffin. It had all sorts of other expensive failures before that,...
I think the issue with Boyd isn't that he didn't have access to what we know now. It's more that he did but didn't use it or even cross reference...
That doesn't tell us much though. We know it wasn't running after 1929 as there were no tubes in the boiler. Tim
Little Giant is taken into the works in May 1924 and stripped for heavy overhaul. A report to the board around that time says the chassis is in...
There's a photo of 812( PTR 25) on the gwr813 page showing lining on the cabside. I suspect if you had a higher resolution version you'd be able...
Glan-y-pwll depot restored as was with the turntable from Boston Lodge, replica signal box. Demonstration line up to the Llechwedd incline for...
Yes those two locos were put in the shed expecting to work the next day. But that never happened. Which is why the restoration of Merddin was a...
Probably a victim of circumstance more than anything. Originally the plan was for both Welsh Pony and Princess to be restored. Of the engines...
After the railway closed the Glaslyn Foundry used Boston Lodge for war work. In 1942 Palmerston was parked outside the blacksmiths shop and used...
Merddin, Princess, Welsh Pony, and the remains of Moel Tryfan were all in the old engine shed. Prince and LT were in the erecting shop. Tim
Yes, you can use the working one to tow the two broken ones.
Welsh Pony, Linda, Palmerston, KS4415, 134, C2, Lilla, Hugh Napier, Prince all have volunteer groups providing a lot of input at overhaul. The K1...
About half the funding for the WHR came from private donors though. So you need more than just grant money. The EU had a system of...
Well you're paying extra for the special trains which only run as far as Beddgelert on all 3 days. So you're not really loosing or gaining...
That's a bit dramatic. As far as I can work out the only thing that isn't happening is the Baldwin isn't coming for reasons beyond the control...
If it's working a heavy train on a decent run yes. I expect on 1 mile of L&B the loco will be quite wet because the superheaters don't have time...
Lyd doesn't have much superheat really. They aren't the same design as the other FR locos with an out and back loop on each element. They consist...
I'm guessing you mean in one day. Britomart and Moelwyn have done this and I think Vale of Festiniog did it all in one go. Linda and Blanche...
K1 has the cylinders inboard because it is a compound. This reduces the length of the receiver between the high and low pressure bogies. If you...
