Green Earl emerges from the workshops after a major overhaul. Work included new seals and gaskets to the cylinders, valve re-timing, replacement of severely worn crosshead pins and a damn good make-over. She now runs as well as she looks.

No21 is on the move again.
There was some activity around Gorris Quarry today as number 10 was spotted dragging a very derelict no21 out of the quarry and up the line to Maesffordd sheds for possible restoration.
21 has languished at the quarry for some time now, and is looking more than a little sorry for itself. it needs a major rebuild before it will ever steam again, watch this space for progress!
