The (almost) final reassembly and steam trial of Baldwin locomotive, No. 1, "Fairymead" at Mandalong Valley Tramway, South of Newcastle, NSW, Australia, in March 2023. Also appearing is "Ivy" a Fowler of 1922, almost ready for service.
It’s great to see a small dedicated group of enthusiastic guys restore this old Baldwin loco. I reckon it must be hugely addictive to have the loco up and running, and see the fruits of their labour rewarded. I’m loving these videos!
It is so cool to see the locomotive up and running. It has been a childhood dream for me to be part of a team that would restore locomotives specially here in the Philippines.
It's built on private land and was never a commercial operation. There are also 12 inch gauge and 7.25 inch gauge lines on different levels up the hillside. It will be around 1 klm long, out around a loop and back.
When are you going to fit the cylinder drain cocks, or are they missing and you will have to manufacture some? Well done guys showing a lot of promise.
