Elidir (formerly named Enid then Red Damsel) is an 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotive that can be seen in operation at the Llanberis Lake Railway. Elidir is not to be confused with Avonside Elidir which worked at the same quarry with the same name.



History[]

Elidir was built by the Hunslet Engine Company in 1889 as works number 493 along with 492 'King of the Scarlets' for the Dinorwic Quarry in North Wales and was originally named Enid but was changed soon after to Red Damsel and now currently is named Elidir a name that another Dinorwic engine carried and still does. Elidir was sold dismantled in 1969 when the quarry closed. Elidir works on the Llanberis Lake railway in preservation which is nearby to the Dinorwic Quarry.
