To celebrate the succcessful rebuild of ex-Mountain Ash Colliery 0-6-0 locomotive 'Haulwen' and its return to active service on the Gwili Steam Railway, a special unveiling ceremony was held on Monday. The locomotive was originally named after the granddaughter of Tom Jenkins, a cable shop manager at Mountain Ash Colliery, who first received permission to rebuild the train. His granddaughter Haulwen Price was present to perform the naming ceremony. Originally built in 1945, the engine was the first of a batch constructed by the Vulcan Foundry and was one of the 90 locomotives retained by the War Department in 1947 for peacetime service. The rebuild of 'Haulwen' was made possible by generous financial assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Welsh Assembly Government, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, the Caerphilly Railway Society and the Gwili Railway Preservation Society, together with the valuable help of Gwili Railway volunteers. Special thanks were also given at the naming ceremony to Barry Frobel, of Tenby, for all his fund-raising efforts, while Observer staff members Jenny Deverson and Gareth Du Toit were among those invited to the ceremony and lunch with various other guests from around the county.
