Ffestiniog Railway No. 2 Prince

Ffestiniog Railway
George England 0-4-0ST+T No. 2 Prince
We take a look at the Ffestiniog's preservation pioneer, 'Prince', in action across the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland lines on vintage passenger and freight action, along with double heading with Taliesin on service trains. We also see the locomotive on a visit to Highley on the Severn Valley Railway and visiting the London Transport Museum's Acton Depot for the Metropolitan Railway 150th Anniversary Celebrations, which were also the Prince's and Ffestiniog steams 150th birthday, which saw Prince return to her London birthplace.
The video features as the second day of the 2020, 12 Days of Preserved Railway Christmas

While known as “Prince”, this engine truly feels like a king to me!
