Hunslet ZA6 new build.

Is there a thread covering this interesting project ?

It’s described here (pg 14) https://www.festrail.co.uk/appeal/pdf/hiag-2025-eng.pdf

However of the two links given, this one is currently still under development https://www.za6.co.uk/
and the other doesn’t work.

 

If I click on the festrail appeal link it simply takes me to the under construction za6 site you've also given.

 

If you cut and paste it, it.can be made to work, but it's a general pdf about the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland with very little more to it.

TBH, I doubt we'll see much for a while, this seems to be a (very sophisticated) man in a shed operation, so there's not the need to keep stakeholders updated as there would for a wider group operation.

 

There was some discussion of this project a few weeks ago, and I'm sure there is more info out there, - see https://share.google/01nzdXGId9jWjbr6e. It does seem to be coming along at quite a pace.

 

There's a 6 page feature on it in this FfR & WHR Trust publication: HIAG 2025 - FINAL - HQ
The project seems well advanced by the volunteers leading it, with support from Boston Lodge.
