Sybil at Porthmadog Harbour station

Sybil is a privately owned quarry Hunslet resident on the Richmond Light Railway.

Sister to Britomart, this 0-4-0ST quarry engine was built by the Hunslet Engine Company, Leeds in 1903 (works No.827) for Pen-yr-Orsedd Quarry, in the Nantlle Vale. She was bought in 1963 for preservation by Tony Hills and restored to working order by 1968. The locomotive initially saw occasional use on the Llanberis Lake Railway and also on display in the Welsh Slate Museum.

Sybil has visited the FR several times, most recently in April 2025.
