The '''Penrhyn Port Class''' is a class of three [[narrow gauge]] [[steam locomotives]] built for the [[Penrhyn Quarry Railway]] (PQR). These locomotives were built by the [[Hunslet Engine Company]] between 1883 and 1885 and supplied specifically to work at [[Port Penrhyn]] near [[Bangor, Gwynedd|Bangor]], north Wales. They were a variant of the standard [[Dinorwic Alice Class]] design.<ref name=BoydPQR>{{cite book |last=Boyd |first=James I.C. |title=Narrow Gauge Railways in North Caernarvonshire: Volume 2 the Penrhyn Quarry Railways |publisher=The Oakwood Press |year=1985 |isbn=0853613125}}</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The three locomotives of this class were ordered by the Penrhyn Quarry Railway to replace two vertical boilered [[De Winton]] locomotives. The first pair, ''Gwynedd'' and ''Lilian'' were delivered in 1883 and the final locomotive of the class, ''Winifred'' was delivered in 1885.<ref name=BoydPQR/><br />
<br />
''Winifred'' worked until July 1964, ''Gwynedd'' until August 1954, and ''Lilian'' until August 1956.<br />
<br />
== Preservation ==<br />
<br />
All three engines are preserved. ''Gwynedd'' is preserved at the [[Bressingham Steam & Gardens|Bressingham Steam Museum]], ''Lilian'' at the [[Launceston Steam Railway]] and ''Winifred'' spent many years in private ownership in the United States before returning to the UK in 2012 to work at the [[Bala Lake Railway]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Three British Locos Being Repatriated After 50 Years in USA|url=http://www.rail.co.uk/rail-news/2012/three-british-locos-being-repatriated-after-50-years-in-usa/|accessdate=23 September 2012}}</ref><br />
