    A STEAM locomotive from Austria is to go on hire to the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (WLLR) for approximately two years.

    The Zillertalbahn’s newly overhauled U-class 0-6-2T No. 2 is expected to star in the mid Wales 2ft 6in gauge line’s August 30-September 1 steam gala. The Kraussbuilt locomotive is set to be paired with the WLLR’s former Zillertalbahn balcony carriages to form the ‘Austrian Train’.
