Llewellyn rests at Devil's Bridge
At Devil's Bridge on the Vale of Rheidol railway.
No.7 and No.8 were built together by the Great Western Railway's Swindon Works in 1923.
Initially built with steam heating, the locomotives were designed with standardised Swindon fittings where possible, including the iconic brass safety valve bonnets. Despite being built for a 1'11 ¾" gauge railway, they weigh over 25 tons each and are more than eight feet wide. With 10,510lbs tractive effort, they are the most powerful locomotives of their gauge built for a British railway.
