Happy Retirement Velinheli

Description

After running for 92 years on the same boiler, former Dinorwic Quarry Hunslet 0-4-0 tank engine Velinheli (built 1886) has been retired from traffic and transferred to the Launceston Steam Railway's museum in Cornwall, England.  I'd like to wish Velinheli a happy retirement and hope the engine can have another chance to return to steam.  I was lucky to see Velinheli giving footplate rides at the Ffestiniog Railway's Porthmadog Harbour Station, and hope the passengers such as these two women enjoyed the ride.

She has done well and here's to hoping she returns to traffic in the future. Cracking shot.
