    Good afternoon,
    I seem to remember reading that the loco had moved to Llangollen for an appraisal for possible repair. Does anyone know it's current status and location.
    Thanks

    Still there, though isn't it an 0-6-2T ?
    Not sure what the plan is with her, be nice to see her get restored.

    Some of the D9521 mob used to work on it in our youth at Caerphilly. We saw it return to steam! I remember helping to line out the paintwork and being fascinated by a painter applying gold leaf to the number "28" on the buffer beam. Lovely loco.

    Thanks to you all for replies. Yep it's 0-6-2T. Whoops. Had a good look over the frames in the LLangollen shed at their excellent gala. Boiler and tanks were in the yard. Let's hope they all get reunited
    Cheers
    Richard
