57-472: A volunteer basis. With the agreement of Haydn Jones' widow a deal was made, and control of the railway passed to the newly formed preservation society. One of the major problems facing the railway was the lack of motive power; the railway owned two locomotives, the first of which, Talyllyn , had been out of service for some years, and the second, Dolgoch , was in need of a major overhaul. The society therefore approached British Railways to attempt to purchase

On 17 May 2005 a new-build Tattoo class locomotive, similar in design to No.4, arrived on the Corris Railway where it became No.7, and currently hauls passenger trains there. In 2021, to mark No.4's centenary, it returned to Corris in August to work its first passenger trains on that railway since 1930, followed by
133-534: The Corris closed on 20 August that year. It then was left under tarpaulin at the rear of the Corris Railway Machynlleth station, along with No. 3. The Talyllyn Railway was built in 1865 and ran from Towyn (now called Tywyn) to the slate quarries of Bryn Eglwys , only a few miles from Corris.

Upon arriving, No.4 was in need of a major overhaul but was unserviceable as
266-411: The start. The line and quarries were bought by Sir Henry Haydn Jones , the local member of parliament , in 1911.
