    No, there's nobody on the roof or buffer beams, or the second and third firemen on the coal.

    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 !!!
