Word from the Bala Lake Railway is that Winifred is under overhaul now, having been disassembled within the last two months.

Delightful little Hunslet quarry engine, one of many used in the slate quarries of North Wales up to the 1960's. As the Slate industry declined, they were sold off and many have found new homes in narrow gauge railways in the UK. Note the second wagon behind the loco in the photo with its double flanged wheels - typical of the Welsh slate quarries. The locos didn't have this feature.

There is an engine almost exactly like this one in a Toronto science museum...
