STEAM has started on the long road back to the successor to Britain’s oldest public railway.
The restoration of Avonside 0-4-0ST No. 1498 of 1906 Desmond for the Llanelli & Mynydd Mawr Railway has begun at the Flour Mill workshop, at Bream in the Forest of Dean.
When completed, the restoration will provide the heritage railway with a working steam locomotive for the very first time.
