Title

Merddin Emrys departing Penrhyn Station.

Merddin Emrys departing Penrhyn Station circa 1978 with ex-WHR Ashbury summer carriage No. 26. The fireman is Phil Girdlestone. By this time the station loop and head shunt were not in use for timetabled trains, after the commissioning of Rhiw Goch loop.

The locomotive shows off many distinctive features: short tanks, Stanier hooter mounted vertically, open cab sides, brass bob weights and dome covers, inverted U smokeboxes, and both smokebox doors hinged from the left. Note the steam-raising airline connection on the top smokebox and the breathers for the oil/water tanks on the filler lids.
