Merddin Emrys Near Rhiw Goch, Gwynedd

Merddin Emrys coasts down the gradient, towards Penrhyndeudraeth, with a two carriage train.

Merddin Emrys was built in the railways own workshops at Boston Lodge and was completed in 1879. Merddin has been one of the FR's mainstays for more than a century, and has changed shape with successive rebuilds, major overhauls / rebuilds being undertaken in 1895, 1921, 1934, 1961, 1970, 1988 and 2005. The 1988 overhaul was externally sponsored and featured serious efforts to return the engine to something close to its original appearance.
