Posted by: Marc Jones on Feb 28, 2019 @ 14:02:19
I was a young volunteer with the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway in 1985. Just after the end of the miners strike the NCB offered Menelaus to the railway and a group of us managed to get it onto a low loader in the pit yard and it was transported over to Blaenavon. I have a photograph of it on the loader in the yard which was published in the South Wales Argus at the time.
