| Remarks & Notes |
| 2-6-2 T steamlocomotive # 7 of the Vale of Rheidol Railway in Aberystwyth at the brand new coal tower. The locomotive was built in 1923 at Great Western Railway’s Swindon works alongside sister locomotive No 8. They were designed to replace locomotives supplied at the opening of the Vale of Rheidol by Davies & Metcalfe, which when the Great Western took over were worn out. They, with their sister 1213, are the most powerful non-articulated tank engines on two foot gauge operating in the world. # 7 returned to steam in October 2018 after four years of hard work by a dedicated team of engineers. |
