ELUSIVE LOCO..... - a photo on Flickriver

ELUSIVE LOCO.....

             The WELSHMAN is a loco with an interesting past. I first saw it at Bersham Colliery near Wrexham. The closest colliery to where I lived during most of my childhood. On that visit in December 1971 [I think] found the loco partially dismantled in the shed but it was kindly pulled out for photography by our small group.

Viewing the excellent website:   Preserved British Steam Locomotives I was aware that there was no photo of the loco complete.

Whilst at Foxfield in July 1999 I took this very average photo but it will have to suffice. Subsequently it has been sitting in the colliery yard with it's central wheels missing and I hadn't actually registered which loco it was.

The Welshman 0-6-0ST  Manning Wardle Works No 1207 of 1890 rebuilt by Manning Wardle in 1908. in the sidings at Foxfield Colliery [track now removed] in July 1999 another gala weekend.
