Blaenau Ffestiniog [FR]
'Linda' attached to 'Blanche' about to run-round at Blaenau Ffestiniog before hauling a train chartered by UK Railtours through to Caernarfon via the Ffestiniog (originally spelt with only one F) and Welsh Highland Railways, on 6th April 2019. 'Linda' dates from 1893 and was originally a 0-4-0ST locomotive built for the Penrhyn Quarry Railway. It was purchased by the Festiniog in 1963 and rebuilt as a 2-4-0STT in 1972. In 2003 it received a new boiler and four years later was temporarily withdrawn from service for a major overhaul taking 10 years before it returned to steam in December 2017.
