W G Bagnall / Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns diesel hydraulic locomotive 3211 / 8366 of 1962 at Chasewater. The loco was new to R.O.F. Pembrey in 1962 having been completed at Darlington from a kit of parts after Brush took over Bagnall. After a stint at Glascoed it was sold to dealer Alan Keef from where it was sold to Tarmac and heavily cut down for use of the Jubilee Line extension in London with the name 'Myfanwy'. In 2003 it was purchased for preservation at Foxfield and later moved to Chasewater where a project to reinstate the cab to full height was completed in 2019. It is seen here running during the Industrial Railway Society AGM visit to Chasewater in 2021.
