1917 built battery electric locomotive built by Brush of Loughborough (although some other information indicated produced by Siemens).
This type were built for use in munitions factories during the war - this one was used in a mustard gas factory. It was sold off to a quarry in the Blaeanu Ffestiniog area and sold again in 1963 to Aberllefenni Quarry. The NSM acquired it in 2008 with the intention for it to undergo restoration to working order. Another two are still in use on the Hythe Ferry Pier train.
