Ffestiniog's Fantastic Fairlie Four: Single Fairlie Talisin During our UK holiday we spent a week close to Porthmadog's Harbour Station where the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways meet. I made many photos over the week and rather than per day I grouped these photos in an album per locomotive.
1 I had been at Porthmadog three days and I was pleasantly surprised to find the single Fairlie Taliesin in Harbour Station
2 I visited Porthmadog in 2009 and 2011 but I had never seen the loco before.
3 This is the most dirtinctive different view from this loco. Wheresas a Double Fairlie is symmetrical and has a boiler extending oth ways with the fireboxes in the middle, a single Fairlie has a more or less conventional boiler
