TALIESIN was made in 1876 as a single Fairlie locomotive, meaning that it runs on two four wheel bogies but only one is powered. This was intended as a lighter version of the double fairlie locomotives then being introduced to the Festiniog Railway. It was eventually dismantled in 1932 when completely worn out. In 1999 a second locomotive was built to this design and given the same name.
The model is 10" gauge battery powered, it has no less than 36 traction batteries powering a 14 Kw DC motor sufficient to pull fifty passengers for up to nine hours.
It can be fitted with smoke and sound for authenticity, or even built live steam. Taliesin is 2.8m long x 0.75m wide x 1.13m high.
