Quarry 0-4-0ST built by Hunslet (823 of 1903). Worked on the Australia Level at Dinorwic, and is normally based at the West Lancs Light Railway at Hesketh Bank.
Irish Mail visited the FR for the Hunslet 100 Gala in 1993. It is thought to have also visited the WHR(P) in the late 1980s and returned on 30-31 July 2005 for the "25th Anniversary Gala", remaining for a further fortnight.
A further visit to the WHR(P) was scheduled on 3-5 May 2008 for the the "Hunslet: Generations" gala.[1]
