Pretty interesting. The frame's no good, the cylinders are no good, the boiler's shot: jack up the whistle and roll a new locomotive under it. At least the wheels appear in decent shape, and they can probably re-use the stack!

It's essentially a new locomotive they are building, but it seems like the Ffestiniog does this regularly every few years.
