King of the Scarlets (formerly named Alice) is an 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotive.



History[]

King of the Scarlets was constructed for the Dinorwic Quarry in Llanberis, North Wales by the Hunslet Engine Company of Leeds in 1889 as works number 482. King of the Scarlets was originally named Alice but changed later to King of the Scarlets. It was purchased in 1965 for preservation and shipped to Canada where it was stored in a barn with several other quarry locomotives. Until 2012 when the Statfold Barn Railway negotiated to purchase the locomotives which was successful. King of the Scarlets is still in the condition it was in when it worked at the quarry and is on display.

Today King of the Scarlets is awaiting restoration to working order as of 2017.
