Excellent video as always Paul, great to see it all coming together. The renovation of Boston Lodge is amazing looking forward to our next visit, hope to see you again then.
Having done my steam fitting apprenticeship(many moons ago ) with a Swindon A shop gentleman what he described seems very close to what happens here ,well done all 🎉
18:22 - Totally agreed, there's no arguement for leaving Nesta as-is at all if she's anything like fellow PQR and Pueto Rico stablemate Cegin was. I still feel it's a shame Winifred and Ogwen were fully repainted so soon (appologies to Julian Birley and Martyn Ashworth, we'll 'agree to disagree' there!😅), but from what I can gather Glyder has been _very_ sympathetically restored indeed by Graham Morris. But for how long can that be maintained?😕
to Be honest, It's a Shame Princess will never Run again, she's been dormant for almost 80 years, at least We're getting a working replica of the first Mountaineer, in Original condition
Princess is the only England left in ‘original’ condition and as such is a unique relic. It is better to conserve what remains than to try to restore it. As we saw with Welsh Pony, very little original material would survive.
@@FfestiniogWelshHighland I guess that makes sense , quick question, when the new mountaineer is done, is there any hope we’ll get a replica of Little Giant?
@@FfestiniogWelshHighland if anything, I would a Replica of little giant if I could , and a new build I’d call “The Duke” for obvious reasons :) Also another question, is there any possible plans to Recreate the first double fairlie “Little Wonder”?
0:04 - Congratulations on a thoroughly deserved award. And no wonder; the BL mob did a sterling job! 6:59 - Now now, Guv'nor, don't go knocking the Old Gent like that! 😅 17:06 to 19:07 - Grand news about Nesta.
Richly deserved. Best engineering team in the business!

The new Mountaineer isn't an F&WHR project so we have no idea. If you have the money I'm sure someone would build you a Little Giant though. :)

Not as far as I know.
Very good update thank you! What about Lyd though? 👀👀
Don’t worry about Lyd. All is well.
@@FfestiniogWelshHighland Jolly good look forward to seeing her 1000000 times this year then 😂
Nothing was said about Blanche and Linda. Are they going to be running in 2024?
The ladies will both be in action. Linda is just back in service and Blanche remains active too.
