L.A.D.A.S. was the Snowdon Mountain Railway's first steam engine built in the 1890's. She was manufactured at the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland in 1895, arriving at Llanberis in July 1895, costing £1523.00. She was named after Laura Alice Duff Assheton-Smith, the wife of a major local landowner. The train was operating the first public passenger service on April 6th, 1896 when she had a very unfortunate accident. She was coming back down the line when she derailed and went cab over wheels down the mountain. Once she rolled down the mountain, she was a complete wreck with only the pistons, motion, frames and wheels still intact. She was beyond repair, so she was scrapped. To this day, the Snowdon Mountain Railway has never replaced L.A.D.A.S. with another steam engine carrying the number one.

The train is FREE to build (but you still need to take a Build action and the game must have had the train build event) and comes with three Rubble on it. Whenever you take the Surveyor action (ie. go wandering around the mountain), take one Rubble off. If there is no Rubble on it at game end (and you still 'own' it) it is worth 9VP. This DOES count as a Train for the purposes of "One Train Only" rule and the "Train Maintenance" Event!
