RU-3829061 A narrow-gauge steam locomotive of the Talyllyn Railway in Wales, United Kingdom

Although not indicated anywhere on this postcard from Galina (31 July 2015) Postcrossing, the locomotive shown on the postcard is definitely a steam locomotive of the Talyllyn Railway.

The Talyllyn Railway is a historic narrow-gauge steam railway, set in the beautiful Mid-Wales countryside of the United Kingdom. The line runs from Tywyn to Abergynolwyn and Nant Gwernol.  Along the way, the line passes the delightful Dolgoch Falls.

There are six steam locomotives owned by the Talyllyn Railway.  These are:

•No.1 "Talyllyn" - Fletcher Jennings, 1864
•No.2 "Dolgoch" - Fletcher Jennings, 1866
•No.3 "Sir Haydn" - Hughes, 1878
•No.4 "Edward Thomas" - Kerr Stuart, 1921
•No.6 "Douglas" - Barclay, 1918
•No.7 "Tom Rolt" - Talyllyn Railway, 1991

I am not sure which locomotive is depicted on this postcard.
