The Railway Engine No 2 was built by Baldwin of Philadelphia in the USA in 1930. The Locomotive worked for 43 years hauling limestone near Port Elizabeth in South Africa. In 1974 the Baldwin Locomotive was wrecked when it ran away without a driver and the engine was writen off. It was purchased by Brecon Mountain Railway and brought back to the UK. The engine is a 4-6-2 tender locomotive weighing 47 tons. In 1990 work was started on the task of rebuilding the locomotive and it finally entered traffic in 1997. The vintage steam locomotive runs through beautiful scenery into the Brecon Beacons National Park along the full length of the Taf Fechan Reservoir to Dol-y-Gaer, one of the best scenic railways in the UK.
