It's funny how things that happen though circumstance are made out to be tradition. The basic liveries on the FR usually come about because the...
Especially when you consider that so many of his contemporaries were struggling to produce large 4-6-0s that lived up to expectations. Even other...
But as noted above it is a different system on the Cambrian unless that line is upgraded. From what I understand the size and power requirements...
Exciting and much needed investment for Boston Lodge....
On a double engine you have two separate but largely identical steam circuits. So if the units are synchronised the exhausts will be too. On a...
It's an NGG16. If it doesn't clank it probably means something has fallen off. Tim
The FR Cleminson waggon seems to travel quite smoothly from what I can tell. Admittedly I've never sat in it at line speed. It is so short though...
Great idea. The GM could do with somewhere to keep his chickens. Tim
It's a NWNGR Ashbury brake composite. Two were built for the opening of the line but seem to have disappeared by WHR days. The underframe of one...
From the FR Facebook this morning. FFESTINIOG & WELSH HIGHLAND RAILWAY UPDATE: On Friday the 10th of September, a train on the Ffestiniog...

Going off topic again just for a second. Parry People Movers did indeed demonstrate their vehicle on the F&WHR. I don't think the F&WHR ever had...
Yes the Hudswell Clarke is at the Rheidol now. Tim
The noise thing is interesting as the assumption is that noise means these locos were unreliable. The railway i work on has two locos that are...
Looking at this drawing it is about 5 inches (2.5 inches each side) outside the loading gauge for the WHR on straight and level track. So you'd...
I think all the locos have the original style handrails now, rather than the scaffolding poles on the bunkers. I wouldn't get too excited...
There's always lots of talk of height restrictions on the FR, but width is also a major problem. The Alco and Lyd are pretty much an interference...
All designs are bad. It's just a question of how bad. Its worth remembering that design is the easy part of engineering. Manufacturing and...
Yes they are part of a cache of machines acquired from Ireland a few years ago. There is enough to equip the whole WHR after they have been...
Well the machines are Railway Signal Co miniature electric train staff machines. A normal sized train staff would like the large one used to Rhiw...
