    PERSEVERANCE seen in the Priory Shed. This small vertical boiler locomotive was constructed in 2004 in an attempt to build a working steam locomotive for under £1,000 - though apparently it did end up costing more. Originally built on a skip chassis, a new purpose-built chassis was constructed in early 2010. ​ As Perseverance is much smaller than our other steam locomotives, it is not used on passenger trains and is steamed infrequently, normally when the railway is closed to the public. It is, however, normally on display. Being a smaller locomotive Perseverance is easy to transport, and has made visits away from home to the Ffestiniog Railway and Leighton Buzzard Railway.
