FR Vintage Weekend 15th/ 16th October

In other news, Dduallt spiral does a fine impression of India on Saturday...

 

That's a lovely photograph Andrew, but I thought that this engine was out-of-gauge for the FR, or is it just a part of the railway?

Regards

 

The Darj is within gauge for the whole of the FR main line - which is a good thing, as this photograph was taken during a charter trip from Caernarfon to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The return journey was completed the following day...

I've no idea why Andrew decided to put this photo here, as the Darj is not running during the Vintage Weekend !!!

 

I couldn't find one of a Deltic, Rog.

 

Nice picture andrew, what is the little building to the left of the picture?

 

A barn.

 

An abandoned bwthyn, I'd suggest

Taliesin is back up and running, doing some more running in tomorrow.

 

Is that the old Deviationist 'Barn' site?

 

Correct Sir...
