After many years of dormancy, November 2009 sees steam in action on Nantmawr quarry branch near Oswestry, offering brake van rides along a line which never saw a passenger service.

The locomotive is the lovely little Beyer Peacock 1827, built in 1879 - just the thing for a line like this. (less info)
