Last years guest steam locomotive was the Orenstein and Koppel ‘EIGIAU’ from the Bredgar and Wormshill railway! This was the first time our resident ex Penrhyn loco No.24 and EIGIAU had run together since leaving the Welsh slate quarry in the early 1960’s and did sterling work alongside our resident O&K locomotive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
