Quarry Hunslet history (with grateful thanks to The Quarry Hunslet Web Site)
'Britomart'
Britomart moved to the Festiniog Railway in 1965 after a working life at the Pen-yr-Orsedd Quarry in the Nantlle Vale in North Wales. The engine is typical of the small Hunslet 0-4-0STs built by Hunslet of Leeds for quarries in North Wales. Britomart is owned by a private consortium and is housed and steamed on special occasions at the Festiniog Railway.
