Built 1893 by the Hunslet Engine Co. Originally an 0-4-0ST running on the Penrhyn Quarry Railway, purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway in 1962. Named after Linda Blanche Douglas-Pennant. Now running today as a double header to the Fairlies Patent, Earl of Merioneth, on the Welsh Highland Railway. Earl of Merioneth, the first Double Fairlie built in 1979 by the restored Ffestiniog Railway, and the only one of its kind to deviate from the classic design with the cuboid side tanks. Converted to coal firing in 2006
