9. No. 3 DOLBADARN. Hunslet No. 1430, built in 1922. This was one of a pair of locomotives supplied new to the harbour at Port Dinorwic for shunting on the quays. Here it was simply known as No. 2 but, in 1936, it was transferred to the quarry at Llanberis, and in 1946 the name Dolbadarn was fitted. The engine worked in the quarry until 1967, being one of the last steam engines to work in a slate quarry in Britain . Dolbadarn (OURS)

It was repatriated from its Indian resting place at a water works in Kolkata (Calcutta) by Michael Satow, the founder of the Indian Railways Museum in New Delhi. She is one of only two preserved locomotives fitted with Baguley valve gear, similar to the Bagnall-Price gear which was adopted by Bagnall after Ernest E. Baguley left that firm. Rishra

13. Paddy has been newly built by our member Dave Potter and friends and is a vertical-boilered design based around an existing steam piling engine and a Clarkson Thimble boiler. The general arrangement is of an outside framed 0-4-0, with the two cylinder engine sitting vertically on the frames ahead of the boiler, and driving the leading axle through spur gears. All the water and coal are carried on the tender. As many original components as possible are used, including a regulator from a steam crane, and a prominent water feed pump on the footplate. However, the loco frames, wheelsets and tender are all newly constructed.  Paddy
