Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway. A 0-6-0 saddle tank steam engine, built by the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds in 1937, ex East Moors engine No. 18.
Jessie, the little steam engine, who was rescued from a park in Cardiff and ended up as Thomas The Tank Engine is coming home to Wales. The engine has been returned to her former glory and repainted in the original colours she started out life with at East Moors Steelworks in Cardiff in 1938, ahead of spending the rest of her days at Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway.
