That's a delightful video!
These two photos of Chaloner at Boston Lodge engine shed on the Ffestiniog Railway five weeks ago may be of interest. It's a very pretty loco! The gentleman wearing glasses who was driving the loco is David Fisher whose father Alf rescued the loco back in 1960.
The builder was De Winton of Caernarfon, one of the small number of Welsh loco builders. They built approximately 65 of these locos in the later years of the 19th century.
Best wishes,
James
