Monarch (locomotive) acquired more locomotives and "Monarch" became surplus to requirements and was sold to the Ffestiniog Railway. The Ffestinog Railway bought "Monarch" with the intention of overhauling and cutting down the size of the engine for use on the narrower (2 ft gauge) railway.

The locomotive was then repurchased by the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway. "Monarch" was bought with no intention of being used on the railway,
