AN historically significant steam locomotive has relocated from a Welsh castle to a former BR steam shed.
1848-built 4ft gauge Horlock 0-4-0 Fire Queen has been moved from Penrhyn Castle, where it has been displayed since 1969, to Vale of Rheidol Railway’s (VoR) new display building at Aberystwyth.
Two years ago (, March 2022) it emerged that a new home for , probably the oldest surviving narrow gauge locomotive in Britain, was being sought. This followed a decision by The National had been on loan, that since the locomotive was not directly connected to Penrhyn Castle or the Penrhyn story it was not appropriate to retain it.
