LOCATION:Talyllyn Railway, WalesDATE: 2008SUBJECT:A superb portrait of ‘FletcherJennings Bb Class Dolgoch0-4-0WT seen here arriving at what I am guessing is probably Bryglas station.Dolgoch is a narrow gauge0-4-0well tank locomotive. She was built by Fletcher, Jennings & Co. in 1866 andis one of the oldest locomotives still in active service. It was delivered tothe Talyllyn Railway in 1866, and continues to runon this railway. The engine was renamed “Pretoria” between about 1900and 1914 in celebration of the relief of the township of Pretoria in SouthAfrica by Lord Roberts during the Boer war. It then reverted to the originalname “Dolgoch”, which it retains to this day.This locomotive holds an important place in railway preservation history as it was theonly serviceable locomotive on the TalyllynRailway when it became the first ever preserved railway to beoperated by volunteers in 1951, and largely single-handedly kept the railwaygoing during this first season.CONDITION: Excellent clean and unmarked.PHOTOGRAPHER:Unknown.TYPE:Bordered colour (11.75 x 8.25)” enprint photograph an ideal subject forframing.All my photographs and postcards are tissuepaper-wrapped and supported between stiff cardboard or plastic laminate for maximumprotection via the post – see previous good Feedback from earlier buyers of myvintage postcards and photographs.From a smoke-free homeI am happy to combine purchases to help reduce postage& packaging costs.
