Russell in the platform headshunt,
Porthmadog station. 1999.

Russell

Hunslet 2-6-2T "Russell", built in 1906, is the only surviving locomotive from the original Welsh Highland Railway. It is now back on home territory at the Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog).

We restored the loco to working order in 1987. But "Russell" now needs boiler work and major maintenance on its driving wheels and motion. The total cost of this work is estimated at £30,000.

Please help us raise money to pay for this work .

'590' at Dinas shortly after arrival in 1923. The livery was black at that time.

Baldwin '590'

In August 2003, an agreement was signed between Duxford and the Welsh Highland Railway Ltd (Porthmadog) for the long term loan and restoration of Baldwin "794". It will be reconstructed as "590" and it will once again haul heritage trains between Porthmadog, Beddgelert and Caernarfon on the reconstructed Welsh Highland Railway.
