In this very special episode of Steam on the Moor we visit Wales to give an update on the construction of two new Manning Wardle locomotives for the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway. 

Our General Manager, Stuart Nelhams and the Technical Lead for the 762 Club, Martin Greenland inspect the large set of major components made to date before Paul Lewin, the Ffestiniog Railway's General Manager talks about their Manning Wardle replica, Lyd.
