Snowdon Mountain Railway No 6, Padarn from 1922 was the only steam locomotive working on this day, although No 2, Enid, looks as though she could be ready to go. 7 steam locomotives survive, but only 3 are serviceable, most trains being operated by Hunslet diesels which don't make the same noise, smell and impression.
