Built in 1879 the oldest operating Double Fairlie on the railway. Named after the 6th century Welsh poet. The locomotive underwent a major rebuild in 1987/8. Returned to steam in 2005 and converted to coal firing during the winter of 2006/2007. The engine is currently in service and covered more miles in 2010 than any other FR locomotive.
