Talyllyn Railway No. 6 Douglas

Douglas is a type of 0-4-0WT narrow-gauge tank engine steam locomotives built in 1918 by Andrew Barclay and Co. Ltd. for the Airservice Construction Corps.
From 1921 until 1945 it worked at the RAF (Royal Airforce) railway at Calshot Spit, Southampton in the UK. After a period in storage at Calshot, it was bought in 1949 by Abelson and Co. Ltd. who eventually leased or sold it to the Talyllyn Railway in 1953.
After overhaul and alteration from 2 ft to 2 ft 3in gauge, it entered service in 1954 and was named "Douglas" at the donor's request. Although smaller than the other locos it has performed well and was returned to service in 1995, having been fitted with a new boiler with its old Air Ministry Works and Buildings livery.
After an extensive overhaul now complete, this loco returned to service in the summer of 2013. Making its first appearance in June at the hands of engineers, the running-in period was successfully completed and the loco handed over to the loco department in July. It is currently painted in blue with RAF emblems on both sides of its boilers.
