UPDATE TR No.4 Edward Thomas Another arrival earlier this year was No.4 from the Talyllyn Railway, it is also with us for its ten yearly overhaul. So far the engine has been dismantled with the boiler tubes removed before sand blasting, and then a full inspection prior to the application of a protective coat of paint. The wheelsets have been turned on the lathe to reprofile them and work has begun on the chassis of the engine with the goal of returning it to a rolling chassis this year.
