Elin - Returns To Steam!
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.2 года назад
Welcome to this special update on the first steaming of Hunslet 705 "Elin" at the Richmond Light Railway. For the first time in well over 20 years Elin moves again under her own steam. There are plenty of finishing touches still to complete before the restoration is fully complete but we could not wait to share the good news.

Welcome to our latest news update video, this time a special on the final phases of the restoration of Hunslet 705 "Elin". Not steamed in well over 20 years this 2-foot gauge engine was built for, and spent her entire working career, at the Penryhn slate quarry in North Wales. Elin has an unusual appearance compared to the other similar quarry Hunslets built and used in the Dinowic, Penrhyn, an...

    This is quite a wonderful little railway. I like how RUclips is very much its exclusive online hub, if you get what I mean! The presentation is beautiful and the collection has a small but lovely variety of backgrounds. That you have two Quarry Hunslets of both Penrhyn and Dinorwic patterns with engines of French and German-design origin is quite a treat for your volunteers. Regards, Samuel Farris.

    That brought back memories of working on Sybil in Pant workshop many moons ago. I remember Tony Hills telling me the story of when he purchased the loco for £60 back in the sixties. It was a lovely little loco to drive too. After it's rebuild the bmr would run it on a siding outside Pontsticill station house. I would park the Baldwin, nip across & have a go of driving Sybil. Happy Memories.

    can I just say I'm glad 827 Sybil is being ran and looked after by a railway who didn't shut her up in a shed. But to be truthful, I was saddened to see her leave my hometown for good. Glad to ser her running though
