<p>Some more info on the Brecon Mountain Railway:</p> <p>This railway has a most unusual roster of locos. # 2, as seen in the video, is a 1930 Baldwin 4-6-2, built for the Eastern Province Cement Co., Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It was purchased for scrap value in 1974 and underwent complete reconstruction in 1993/1994. It is the only loco in service so far. </p> <p>The railway has some interesting restoration projects ongoing. Loco # 1 is a 1897 Baldwin 2-6-0, built for the Mogyana Railway in Brazil. It is currently being converted into a 2-6-2.</p> <p>Loco # 3 is a S.R. & R.L. RR 2-6-2, currently being completely rebuilt. Completion date not yet known.</p> <p>Loco # 4 is a S.R. & R.L. RR 2-4-4 Forney, expected to be in service next year.</p> <p>I have to start to save up pennies and dimes to be able to go there and see them in action!</p> <p>Further info on this extraordinary line you can find <a href="http://www.breconmountainrailway.co.uk/homepage" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
