This is a list of past and present rolling stock used on the Vale of Rheidol Railway ({{lang-cy|Rheilffordd Cwm Rheidol}}), a {{Track gauge|23.75in|lk=on}} narrow gauge heritage railway, opened in 1902, that runs for {{convert|11+3/4|mi|km|0}} between Aberystwyth and Devil's Bridge in the county of Ceredigion, Wales.[1] The railway was later operated by the Cambrian Railways, Great Western Railway and British Rail before being 'privatised' in 1989 and run as a heritage railway operation (though arguably it had operated as a tourist railway operation since the mid-1930s, when the GWR withdrew freight services and winter passenger services, rendering the railway wholly reliant on the tourist trade). When first opened, the railway owned two steam locomotives, No 1 Edward VII and No 2 Prince of Wales,[2] along with a third contractors locomotive No 3 Rheidol.[3] In 1922 the Great Western Railway took over the running of the line and over the next two decades invested heavily in new locomotives and replacement rolling stock.[4] LocomotivesSteam Locomotives{{See also|GWR Rheidol Tank}}The railway has three steam locomotives for use on passenger trains. All were built for the Vale of Rheidol line and have operated on the line ever since. The standard livery is Great Western Railway green and all three locomotives currently carry this livery. The locomotives were named by British Railways in 1956 and currently do not carry their nameplates.
Diesel LocomotivesThe steam locomotive fleet is today supplemented by a diesel locomotive, number 10, built by Baguley-Drewry and brought to the railway by the Brecon Mountain Railway during the time when the VoR was owned by the same company. Although it lacks the power of the steam locomotives, it is available for shunting duties, works trains, and also operating light passenger trains.[7] A second diesel locomotive has been obtained and is under restoration.
Self propelled engineering plantThe railway has a number of vehicles for permanent way maintenance.
Former LocomotivesNo 1, & No 2 (later 1212 & 1213)The VoR commenced operations with two 2-6-2T locomotives constructed by Davies & Metcalfe of Manchester, Nos.1 and 2. These locomotives were given Nos.1212 and 1213 by the GWR when it took over the line on grouping. They were Davies and Metcalfe's first locomotives and a Great Central Railway boilersmith, Thomas Kay, provided expertise in their construction. The contract was given to a company previously inexperienced in locomotive building (although previously they were involved in the repair of locomotives and made injectors) because Mr. Metcalfe was an Aberystwyth man. The design draws inspiration from the Manning Wardle 2-6-2Ts on the then-newly opened Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, to which they bear some resemblance. This may be because the Szlumper family was heavily involved in both railways' design and construction. No 3 (later 1198){{main|Rheidol (locomotive)}}No. 3 was a small 2-4-0T locomotive, originally built by Bagnall of Stafford for a Brazilian cane plantation in 1896 but never delivered as the order was cancelled, Bagnall regauging the locomotive from {{Track gauge|750mm|lk=on}} to {{Track gauge|2ft3in|lk=on}} when it was sold to the Plynlimon and Hafan Tramway and named Talybont. In 1903, after the failure of the Plynlimon and Hafan, it was purchased by the VoR, regauged to {{Track gauge|1ft11.75in|lk=on}} and renamed Rheidol. The GWR numbered it 1198 in 1923, but it was withdrawn and scrapped the following year, having never carried its GWR number. No 4In 1902 the railway's Directors temporarily hired a locomotive from the Ffestiniog Railway. The engine sent was Ffestiniog No 4 'Palmerston'. The following year VoR engine No 3 'Rheidol' was acquired (see entry above), but a need for a fourth locomotive was still discerned. Palmerston No 4 was therefore hired again from Ffestiniog, and became the regular fourth engine for the next twenty years, being hired for several long periods, interspersed with brief home visits to Ffestiniog. The engine carried fleet number '4' in reference to its position on its home railway, although the number also matched its position on the Vale of Rheidol, as the fourth engine. When the line was acquired by the Great Western Railway, the leased locomotive was no longer required and was returned to Ffestiniog (from where it was immediately re-hired to the Welsh Highland Railway, to assist with construction). Palmerston (an 0-4-0ST+T) was built in 1864 by George England of New Cross, the fourth of the original four Ffestiniog Railway locomotives[12] and was named after the Prime Minister, Viscount Palmerston. Palmerston returned to the Vale of Rheidol in 2014, hauling a series of special trains during September to celebrate its association with the VoR, and to commemorate both a century of history since the first world war, and 25 years of VoR independent operation.[13][14]
Visiting Locomotives Under OverhaulThe following locomotives are currently resident at the Vale of Rheidol Railway, either undergoing overhaul in the workshop or stored.
Visiting LocomotivesThe following locomotives have visited the railway in the past.
Coaching StockCurrent Coaching StockThe Vale of Rheidol Railway has a total of 16 carriages and 1 brake van. All were built by the Great Western Railway at Swindon to replace much older rolling stock. All the stock is third class only, unless otherwise stated. All currently carry both their GWR numbers (on carriage sides) and also their VoR numbers (on the carriages ends).
Former Coaching Stock
Museum CollectionThe Vale of Rheidol Railway owns an extensive collection of historic narrow gauge locomotives and rolling stock which are and are destined for museum display at a future date. Museum Collection LocomotivesAt present none of these locomotives are available for public viewing with the exception of Wren 3114 and Quarry Hunslet Margaret.
Museum Collection Coaching StockThe railway owns a number of historic carriages from other railways. This is destined for museum display in future.
