It has been decided that this will be used to convey various generators around the site for next weekend’s Halloween event – this gave a considerable impetus to finishing the wagon.
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, this wagon is typical of the vehicles which would have been on the very “last mile” of the WW1 railway operations – on the bits where it was too dangerous, or the track was too light, to send a locomotive.Finally, the ex- Ffestiniog coach continues to progress.
The project team have been fighting a bit of a battle with the drawgear – it needed to be lowered to match our locos and reflect the use of different bogies.
