The former Tramway de Pithiviers à Toury (ROD) Alco built 2-6-2T No. 1265 "Mountaineer" is set to return to steam again for the first time since 2006 as its to be overhauled by a group of young volunteers of the Ffestiniog Railway. No. 1265 will retain its post-1983 rebuild appearance and will be converted to back to coal-firing, having been modified to burn oil in 1972. The plan is to overhaul the locomotive at the Ffestiniog Railway’s Glan-y-Pwll yard.
