The Corris Railway's new build steam locomotive No 10 was finally delivered to the line at the end of August 2023, having been over 12 years in the building and costing over four hundred thousand pounds.
On Friday 8th September 2023, a special running session for held for supporters of the project and (as a long-term monthly contributor to the project), I was delighted to be able to attend for the first ever passenger trains hauled by No 10. This is my video of the day, and a sight myself (and many more) have been waiting a long time to see... the Corris Railway's own Falcon loco at work hauling passengers in the Dulas valley.
Public passenger trains with No 10 (the World's newest steam locomotive... for now at least!) commence from Sat 9th September 2023.

Yeah, I almost filmed them filming their video, but thought it might be a bit weird!

Wonderful footage on an untypical Welsh day. Gutted I wasn't there due to a prior engagement at the cricket, but delighted for all at the Corris.

I don't see any coal so how are these things fired up to create steam ?

@FortheLoveofSteam Ай бұрын

It does indeed burn coal, the coal bunker is inside the cab on the far side from the entrance
