The Vale of Rheidol Railway has welcomed another locomotive for Collection X, which is based at the railway.

No. 266 ‘M’Dundo’ is a 4-4-0 Lawley loco that was built by Falcon Engine and Car Works in Loughborough back in 1897.

The locomotive was built for the Beira Railway in Mozambique and became famous for reliability across Southern Africa.

M’Dundo joins the growing Collection X in Aberystwyth, where it will form part of the extraordinary legacy that was formed by the late Peter Rampton.
