This 0-4-4-0 Double Fairlie was the third locomotive to be built by the Festiniog Railway Company in its own workshops at Boston Lodge. Construction began in 1972 and was completed in 1979. It carries its name Earl of Merioneth in English on one side and in Welsh Iarll Meirionnydd on the other. It was built as a replacement (incorporating the power bogies and some other parts) for No. 3 Livingston Thompson.
This model represents the locomotive's in its current condition, after conversion to coal firing, with painted domes as carried during the winter months.
Crew figures by Skipper1945.
