Locomotive Magazine, October 1913

One of the locomotives ordered by Thomas Savin for the construction of the Cambrian Railways network was No. 2 “Ruthin”. Delivered in 1860 by Manning, Wardle & Co., it was actually the railway's third locomotive after No. 3 “Milford” that had already been delivered by Sharp, Stewart & Co. in 1859. Designed for subsequent goods traffic, it had only two coupled axles and no leading or trailing axles. The driving wheels had a diameter of four feet and the cylinders measured 14 by 18 inches. It was withdrawn and scrapped in 1873.
