Moel yr Hydd is a diesel locomotive belonging to the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways (F&WHR).

Originally named Stacy, this is one of six locomotives originally built by Hunslet (No. 9349) for the construction of the Jubilee line extension of the London Underground. It was subsequently acquired by Adrian Shooter for his Beeches Light Railway, where it carried the name Col Frederick Wiley and worked alongside DHR 19B. Emma and Kathy on the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway are of the same type.

The locomotive was purchased by the F&WHR in 2023 at the auction of Shooter's railway equipment following his death the previous year. It was delivered to Minffordd Yard on 14 July 2023. It has been renamed Moel yr Hydd and become the main locomotive used by the S&T department.
