Construction of the 0-4-2ST “Talyllyn” locomotive preceded its namesake railway by two years, and the engine has spent its entire working life on the line. Initially designed for hauling slate, and later revenue passenger service, the Talyllyn locomotive today hauls tourists along its 7.25-mile railway, now recognized as one of the UK’s premier narrow gauge heritage lines.
