- On 27th June 2020, Welsh Pony was steamed for the first time since 1940. This is part three of the days proceedings which sees the loco finally moving under its own steam for the first time in eighty years.
So this is what Duke is based on, from the Thomas the Tank Engine series...
What can I say, I am just so pleased to see this lovely historic locomotive back in steam and looking amazing. I was very worried in the 1990s' when I was cleaning around and on the locomotive and tender that it was past restoration, but as usual the amazing team at Boston Lodge have pulled out all the stops and I am actually feeling very emotional about seeing it running. Well done to all concerned, what a fantastic job.
To Welsh Pony, let me offer the ancient steppe nomad salute: "May you run like the wind!"
it must have been simply a amazing private event for the Ffestining railway to be able to steam up Welsh Pony this England class engine for the first time in 80 years, it must have been a great moment for everyone when they saw her move under her own steam
It’s great to see her running again! You should all be proud of what you have accomplished. Well done to all
I still can’t believe that Welsh Pony is back in Service. 😍😍😍
Well done everyone - I saw WP stripped down when I was guided through the Boston Lodge Works in 2016. Hopefully in 2021 I'll get to see it running.
I'm glad RUclips recommended this video to me, I just rewatched all the updates until now. Congrats to the team and all volunteers for managing to get Welsh Pony steamed up again, you've made a fantastic accomplishment. Also thanks for sharing this process online with everyone. Hope to visit one day!
Thankyou for the ride on the foot plate
Just need Princess to be rebuilt!
Great Job. All fans here in the USA . Will ride the railway someday.
Go for it, Welsh Pony. Nothing can outsmart you. You could find yourself taking passengers for a ride before you know it. Lockdown and isolation are slowly lifting as I'm sure you're already aware of. Preserved railways are opening one by one. If you're lucky, my Little Pony, your railway might reopen just before Christmas. If not sooner than that, of course. Happy Steaming to you, Prince, Maid Marian, Blanche and all your other Ffestiniog Railway friends. May Lady Luck bring in the sunshine for all of you.
Wonderful! Magnificent!!! Thank you!!
despite the world we are in right now, there are some things that are truly beautiful and that put smiles onto anyone's face and that shine through the cracks of a broken world.
WELCOME BACK WELSH PONY!!!
Duke: It’s good to see my brother back in steam.
congratulations ffestiniog railway, you guys have done a wonderful job.
Welcome back, old friend!
as a talyllyn trainee, you've convinced me to come down to film! it'd certainly be interesting in comparison! well done putting no.5 back into service, i enjoyed this a lot :)
What a sweet engine. Great job. I hope to be able to travel again when the pandemic is over and I'd love to see your railway.
