Summary edit

Description

This engine began life working for Bord na Móna, an Irish company responsible for harvesting vast amounts of peat in the Midlands of Ireland. As passenger numbers continued to grow the Talyllyn Railway realised that further motive power was needed and In 1969 purchased the 0-4-0 well tank engine from Bord na Móna which was unofficially named Irish Pete. Built in 1991 at Pendre works on the Talyllyn Railway using the frames, boiler, driving wheels, cylinders and other parts of the 0-4-0 well tank engine, the new engine became an 0-4-2 side tank and was named Tom Rolt after the author L. T. C. Rolt who inspired the Talyllyn's preservation.
