I've been browsing through the category "Two foot gauge railways" in Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Two_foot_gauge_railways  and looked in the Eigiau Tramway entry.
There is a photo, held by Gwynedd Archives, of a locomotive being hauled up the second of the Dolgarrog inclines.
That was some incline!!
