NG Steam Loco
Penrhyn Locomotives
Originally built for the Penrhyn Railway as 0-4-0 saddle tanks, these loco’s were purchased for the Ffestiniog Railway in 1963. The Ffestiniog converted the loco’s to 2-4-0 and added tenders.
A third member of the class “Charles” is preserved in original form at the Penrhyn Castle museum.
