May the Spirits of Mountaineer (1863-1879) and Little Giant (1867-1929) live on. And as Welsh Pony Returned to steam in 2020, We wish them Dry rails and smooth running.
@@jonistan9268 I mean, just with one railway just end at the station with buffers, and same for the other. And extended loop lines to ride around back the other direction each.
Lovely. Should have featured Palmerston when he was still used as a static boiler at Boston Lodge. Should have some somewhere at my parents place from early 70's. Some early pictures that I have not seen before. What has happened to Welsh Pony. Nothing heard since she was dismantled. Saw the boiler and Firebox being reassembled and the new frames in production now nothing heard for two years. Meanwhile why is attention diverted to that Chinese thing and The Alco lies derelict and forgotten when she was a prestige engine and so evocative of WW1?
Regarding Welsh Pony, as far as I'm aware, she is under restoration. I only made this video to showcase this class of George England narrow-gauge tank and tender engines; so I don't know what's going on at Boston Lodge Works - they have their own UA-cam channel but it has being quite quiet regarding Welsh Pony. I am going to visit the Great Little Trains Of Wales for my summer holiday this year; last time I was in North Wales was six years ago in 2013.
at the ffestiniog railway in north wales; prince and palmerston are in service, welsh pony has recently been restored back into service and princess is undergoing restoration
toby harlin princess will remain as a static decoration as too much original material has to be lost to recreate a safe running modern loco. I think that is the right decision as there are now four and a “replica” of the 1852 original version of mountaineer

Wow.
Engines come and engines go, Grand-puff goes on forever!
You impertinent scallywags! whatever are you engines coming to?
@@liljayyboi2 Never mind, grand-puff, were only young once.
@@terencewilliammckenna6121 well you'd better mind unless you want to end up like smudger
@Lucas Ison Smudger was a show-off. He rolled roughly and came off the rails often.
@Lucas Ison Listen dukey! who worried about a few spills?
Thanks for a wonderful trip of nostalgia 😊
Alternate title: 6 minutes and 57 seconds of D U K E
I remember eating my Breakfast while admiring Princess at Paddington railway station back in 2013
This music is so satisfying😊
There should be loop connect junctions with this line, the Talyllyn and the Corris railways, too.
Well that won't work. The Ffestiniog railway has a gauge of 1 ft 11 5/8 in but the others run on 2 ft 3 in gauge.

@@terencewilliammckenna6121 aha, now I get it, that would be interesting. Idk how far apart the lines are though.
It's the Dukes!
Did any of these engines ever have leaky valves like in "You can't win"?

@@Basaljet same shit happened with welsh pony why do you think she sat for 80 years and now look
good video but the music is a bit sad
Because of what happened to Mountaineer.

Where is that music from?
These Engine Look Like Duke The Lost Engine?
I dont know if youre joking or not but duke was based off of the england 0-4-0s

@@Dylan98473 Did they ever have leaky valves like duke in you can't win?
Yeah?
