This is the original 'Earl', the second locomotive to be built by the Festiniog Railway Company in its own workshops at Boston Lodge and the fourth of the railway's Double Fairlies. It was withdrawn in 1971 and cosmetically restored for static display; it is currently at the National Railway Museum.

 

The loco is at Tan-y-Bwlch in the early 1960s.
