Dear 19B supporter
We said we would provide (at least) an annual opportunity to come and see the engine. You will know that the new boiler is currently under construction in the Ffestiniog Railway’s Boston Lodge Works whilst the chassis remains at Statfold. As the boiler is pretty much the story of the moment, we thought a visit there would create most interest.

Sir Mark Tully KBE 1935-2026
It is with deepest regret, the death of Mark Tully.
He had been our Patron for over 20 years and was a constant and invaluable source of support, advice,
and wise counsel.
Our most sincere condolences go to his family and loved ones.
See the full tribute in the ‘Darjeeling Mail’.
