The first fire for new build Double Fairlie, James Spooner, was lit today outside the Ffestiniog Railway‘s Boston Lodge Works.
This is a major milestone for the new build Double Fairlie, which is due to go into the paint shop soon.
It is expected that James Spooner will debut at October’s Bygones Weekend, which we cant wait to see!
The James Spooner project was announced in March 2016, with the new engine being a replacement for “Earl of Merioneth”.
