A historic moment for the Corris Railway's new build 0-4-2ST 10 Falcon on 24 September 2022, as it is steamed in public for the first time at Alan Keef's 50th Anniversary Open Day at Lea (near Ross-on-Wye). The loco, had only received its boiler certificate a few days earlier. In grey primer and without any buffers, it is pictured on the morning of the open day, just before the works plate was fitted. This will be the railway's second steam locomotive, and is based on one of the line's original locomotives, now in service on the Talyllyn Railway. |
