| Fresh from the Rustenberg Platinum Mines, No 4 is unloaded at the Welsh
Highland Railway in 1982 |
 |
|
 |
|
| Sitting in No5 Road at Gelerts Farm (now occupied by fellow exSouth
African locomotive NG15 No 120) No 4 looks very forlorn, a similar state that fellow South
African Bagnal 'Sinembe' looks
today. |
|
| 7 Years later and nothing much has happened, apart from being painted
Black, and moved into No1 Road. The Locomotive in front is its sister from Rustenberg
No3, Bagnal 3023. |
|
| Another 2 years and a lot has happened, stripped down the frames are seen
inside the 'Big Shed' at Gelert's Farm. |
|
| Having made repairs to the boiler, the next major job is re-tubing it. |
 |
| Some time later, and the boiler is placed into a Hudson Bogie Wagon, for
its first Steam test. Happily this test was past, and restoration continued. |
|
Bagnall 3050 was officially named 'Gelert' in 1992. Here, 'Gelert' leaves
the shed at Gelerts Farm, and prepares to take a loaded train out of Porthmadog Station.
