Yep, the double Fairlie James Spooner will be yet another new build at Boston Lodge. The Ffestiniog is also the world’s oldest steam powered narrow gauge, and I believe Boston Lodge is the oldest continuously operating steam locomotive works.

An update on James Spooner progress is located on the railway’s e-newsletter here [insidemotion.co.uk], and the item just before it gives an update on the return to service of their 1867 loco Welsh Pony. Geez, locos separated by more than 150 years in the same works. Between this and all the great achievements in the US, it’s awesome what’s happening in the Narrow Gauge world.

Cheers,
