From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia
"The Hunslet Engine Company Austerity 0-6-0ST is a steam locomotive designed for shunting. The class became the standard British shunting locomotive during the Second World War, and production continued until 1964 at various locomotive manufacturers." Text Source: (visit link)

"The Welsh valleys are famous for our coal mining history, and Cefn Coed Colliery, in the Dulais valley tells the honest story of how it really was.
A visit to the Colliery will offer the opportunity to experience a part of history that the country prides itself on. With a working steam engine, and a simulated mine you will get a real taste for life down the pit, all within the grounds of a real life former coal mine." Text Source: (visit link)
