Taliesin
History
Our Taliesin Mk2 has had a complete redesign and detailing overhaul to bring the model up to our current production standards and improving prototypical accuracy.
Taliesin is the third loco to be named as such on the Ffestiniog railway. This 0-4-4T steam locomotive was built in 1999 and was the fifth engine to be built at the Boston Lodge Works. A popular engine with engine crews and the public alike, this loco is still in service today on the Ffestioniog and Welsh Highland Railway.
