On 27th June 2020, Welsh Pony was steamed for the first time since 1940. This is part one of the days proceedings which sees the fire being lit and tells a brief history the loco.

I just wanted to say how nice it is to see young people like Millie speaking Welsh, and for her part not letting it fade away.

This was so good to watch on Saturday, having just watched the weekly Talyllyn broadcast this is in my feed, perfect timing. My phone is now on silent and I'm going to enjoy it all over again. Well done to everyone who worked on the restoration she looks great! I really like the Plum livery. Also well done to everyone braving the weather to make Saturday happen.

Welsh pony looks beautiful. You guys did a magnificent job on her I must say. It’s nice that princess, prince and Palmerston now has a sibling to share the line with, and I look forward to riding behind welsh pony when lockdown has lifted and I can return to England.

Oh but that original lagging could make such fine presentation pieces for people who worked on it.

You could have sold the old boiler lagging, I bet there are some enthusiasts who would by it.

i thought it was nice how the Ffestininog railway used the old wood boiler lagging as fire wood so they could light the first fire that Welsh pony has had for many years, it saved them the trouble of breaking up or cutting up some old sleepers, how did they fill her boiler with water? correct if me if i am wrong but i feel they mite have filled it using a hose pipe or water buckets.

I believe they use a non return valve with a pump. Usually the bikes are filled to the top when running for days on end.

@@yeo5811 its very fitting that they reused the old boiler lagging as fire wood to get the fire going
