train driver attaching lamp to double fairlie steam locomotive Dafydd Lloyd George porthmadog station north wales uk


The most recent Double Fairlie locomotive in the world and also the most powerful locomotive on the railway. Built to burn oil rather than coal. Currently in service although due to the high cost of oil firing (roughly double the cost of coal firing) it has been used largely as a standby locomotive for the heaviest trains of late.
