Oh and that statement is completely incorrect. According to Google Dictionary: "Authentic, Made or done in the traditional or original way, or in a way that faithfully resembles an original, Based on facts; accurate or reliable" Therefore, authenticly, it is an L&B engine, as it faithfully resembles an original Lynton and Barnstaple locomotive, not a Ffestioniog locomotive.

This must be the only replica locomotive where people really really split hairs about what it really is...I don't see why, as was said, the world, narrow gauge or otherwise, doesn't revolve around Porthmadog.

Glad to hear Coach 15/14 is coming though!

For those who seem engrosed in the FR or WHR and seem to have forgoten a few small details.

The FR has a 40 year head start on some people, and the WHR a £30+ M on some of the newer railways such as the L&B.

You conveniently forget that for most of that time the FR operated without any outside assistance, built the Tanygrisiau Deviation and successfully fought the longest Civil Action in British history. Had you been around in the ninteen fifties, you would have seen the enormity of the task that faced the pioneers.

It is up to the likes of the L&B to prove to others that they are worthy of outside support. The L&B must prove itself to be an asset to the area. Good luck, work hard and the rewards will surely follow.

In addition to employing some 65 full-time staff, independent research shows that the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways generate over £15 million for the local economy each year and create a further 350 jobs in the area.

It'll be more than that now. The research was done a few years back.

Hasn't the FR proved that the L&B can be an asset to its area?
