History

Geirionydd is our newest steam locomotive, having being completed in September 2017. Construction of Geirionydd began in our workshops in January 2015. Geirionydd is a single fairlie locomotive, this allows her to "bend" around corners which in turn lets her traverse corners which similar sized engines cannot.
