The Welsh Highland Railway is to play host to a fabulous selection of visiting steam locomotives in 2011. Adrian Shooter's Darjeeling "B" class No.19 will visit from the Beeches Light Railway in Oxfordshire. The De Winton Vertical Boiler locomotive, "Chalenor" will visit from the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway in Bedfordshire and we will also the an articulated Mallet locomotive visit from the Statfold Barn Railway in Staffordshire.
We will also see the return to steam of Mainline Quarry Hunslet, "Linda" on the Ffestiniog. She will also spend a period stretching her legs on the Welsh Highland. "Lyd" will also be showing off on the WHR and "Palmerston" is to return for a period as well from Ffestrail. We will also see action from the Ffestiniog's Double Farelies on the FR and WHR, as well as the Welsh Highland's mighty NGG16 Garratts. 143 will be returning from a major overhaul in a brand new livery as well.
All of this, will be shown in several productions, and we hope to see some good double headed combinations over the Ddullt Sprial on the Ffestiniog Railway, and climbing through the steep grades of Aberglaslyn Pass on the Welsh Highland Railway.
Plenty of fabulous Ffestiniog action! A delight for any Welsh Highland or Ffestiniog fan.
