FUNDRAISING APPEAL |
|
| Our locomotive "Dolforwyn" recently had a boiler exam and unfortunately things did not go as hoped. To cut a long story short the boiler leaked profusely when hydraulically tested. Here we see water pouring out from failed firebox stays. |
|
| There was quite a spectacular spray from the foundation ring too. It was decided that the boiler is beyond economic repair. If you would like to help us and contribute to the new boiler, you can donate via this GoFundMe appeal where we are raising the money. |

| Here is the engine in happier times at the track in Newtown. |
