Moel Tryfan	0-6-4T 	1875	Vulcan Foundry 	Single Fairlie	Yes	Built for the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railway. Amalgamated with sister locomotive Snowdon Ranger around 1916 or so. Withdrawn in 1936 for boiler repairs, the locomotive was found partially dismantled in 1954, and was slated to be sold for scrap, until Johnson CEO Sheldon Johnson instead elected to have the locomotive sent to Bayshore Shops near San Francisco, CA for restoration. The locomotive re-entered traffic in 1958. As of 2011, the locomotive is now stationed at Dinas, and typically runs the Caernarfron-Porthmadog section of Snowdonian through service to Blaenau Ffestiniog, usually doubleheading with Baldwin 590.
