WORKSHOP Baldwin No.46699 Work on the restoration of the Baldwin has been completed and it has now returned to its home railway on the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. There was a succesful test run on our line going as far as Aberffrwd at one point, a photo of which was in the news section of this edition. The engine has had many original features restored and also has a couple of unseen new features too, like a custom designed spark arrestor and an air pump hidden in the coal bunker on the driver’s side. Upon reaching ‘home metals’ the engine was taken for a test trip up the neighbouring and connected Welsh Highland Railway as far as Beddgelert and this further test was also completed successfully.
