Not only a Really Useful Loco but also a magnificent symbol of our strong partnership with the Alishan Forest Railway. And it will give our other two diesels a well earned break for some essential maintenance. [TA]
Hi NGN - In December 2018 our smallest steam loco, Dougal, travelled to Taiwan and was a star of the Taiwan Sugar Railways celebration. This Facebook post tells a little of that story. facebook.com/WelshpoolSteamRailway/posts/pfbid02zkLu14jgc1NjUJiBNZ1ML7mZBe1UXcDBft71KDTPTQXmuDRf6h3cLwHSKFYxtSgjl [TA]
@@WelshpoolSteam Oh yes, now you mention it I recall seeing something about that in a book or magazine. It really is amazing how a little Welsh light railway has become such an international star. Not many can say they’ve featured locos from Austria, Finland, Sierra Leone, Romania, and now Taiwan!
Bringing one of their Shay locomotives over here would be a big money spinner.
Great work. Nice to get another foreign train over in the UK.

A fantastically filmed promo for a fantastic project. What loco from Welshpool will be going to Alishan as the return half of exchange?
