Locomotives 3 and 4 on the The Talyllyn Railway May 1987.

 

Locomotive N0.3 Sir Haydn.
Built in 1878 by Hughes' Loco & Tramway Eng. Works Ltd of Loughborough this 0-4-2ST (originally 0-4-0ST) worked on the nearby Corris Railway until the closure of that line in 1948. In 1951 it was purchased by the Talyllyn Railway I think that Y Tren Carnifal means something like the Carnival Train.
 


Locomotive No. 4 Edward Thomas.
This 0-4-2ST was built in 1921 by Kerr, Stuart & Co. Ltd. for use on the Corris Railway, and was purchased by the Talyllyn in 1951 and named after the TR's former manager.
