'Linda' was designed and built in 1893 by the Hunslet Engine Company for use on the Penrhyn Quarry Railway. She worked at the quarry until 1962 and then entered service on the Ffestiniog Railway very shortly after. A part of the Ffestiniog Railway has actually been named 'Linda's Leap' where Linda jumped the tracks later in 1962. Despite this early set back she has been a staple of the FR loco roster and has been through serveral conversions, alterations and rebuilds down the intervening decades. In 2021 her boiler certificate expired and she has once again been stripped down for another restorative overhaul. Our version of Linda represents the 0-4-0 loco pre-1970.
