The terminus of the Talyllyn Railway at Nant Gwernol.
The engine Sir Haydn was built in 1878 and is named after Sir Henry Haydn Jones LinkExternal link a businessman and local MP.
He was the owner of the railway and kept it running through hard times until his death in 1950.
This was long enough to take it into the early years of the railway preservation movement, with the Talyllyn being the first railway in the world to be restored and reopened by a preservation society.
