Attila - An Update

On the 10/10/09 'Attila' the railway's new resident steam loco passed it's first boiler steam test under it's current ownership at the NWMES track in Llandudno, we then spent the day racing around the circuit learning about how to run it, and I am very pleased to report that it runs beautifelly.

I couldn't wait to take it to Bethesda so the following day (11/10/09) 'Attila' arrived at its new home line for the very first time. We spent a very enjoyable day pottering around the track not only learning driving and firing techniques, but also that a few parts of the railway need the angle grinder takeing to them! So 2 1/2 years after I first began the revival of the railway, we finally have a steam loco permanently back on the roster! Thank you very much to Paul Wood for attending all the way from St. Helens just so we could lift it out of the car because my dad did his back in lifitng it the previous day.
