Chaloner and Diana are whistling lustfully along with another 9 steam locomotives and several internal combustion locomotives - now that's what I call a racket. Chaloner is an 0-4-0VBT built in 1877 by De Winton & Co, Caernarvon. It had a new boiler in 1991. It spent its working life in the Welsh slate quarries in the Nantlle Valley. Diana behind was a visiting locomotive that worked alongside Chaloner in the quarries. They were pretty much paired up for the day and seemed inseparable.
