  1. For example, lifted during a relay on the Welshpool & Llanfair last week, rolled in 1901 and still in use in 2022
  2. I have been told by someone working on the tunnel that they have 2m left to go but have to change the teeth on the cutting head before breaking through the concrete plug in the receiving box.
  3. The one time I caught it it went Phillips Park - Ashburys. Think that was the normal route
  4. There is at least one on a preserved line, though not at a location which is immediately obvious.... The signal box at Welshpool Raven Square contains a 16 lever frame from Groeslon on the line from Caernarfon to Afon Wen. Only 5 are in normal use (4,5,6,14 & 15); there are also levers controlling the crossover into the bay platform plus associated facing point locks. Currently out of use are levers for the home signal and bay platform starter. There is a long term plan to demolish the rather ugly signal box and build something more appropriate on the opposite side of the line. The box is normally operated by the fireman who is busy getting the fire ready for the Golfa so if you wanted to measure/photograph it the Raven Square stationmaster would be the person to ask.
