VALE of Rheidol Railway (VoR) has completed the stripping and assessment of Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway’s (WLLR) ex-Sierra Leone Railway Hunslet 2-6-2T No. 85. A condition report has been forwarded to WLLR and the loco placed in storage, as contracted, with WLLR’s decision on the next step awaited. No. 85 has been out of service since 2010. The VoR is now working to complete the overhaul of resident Hanomag 2-6-2+ 2-6-2 Garratt NG/G13 (10551/1927) No. 60, which arrived at the VoR in 2017 but has not yet steamed at the Mid-Wales line.
