Coffee pot quarry loco made in caernarfon. Garret monster seen behind, double articulated power bogies...

Double fairley ( two chimnies ) waiting in Porthmadog to take us to Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Slate quarries and mines in Gwynedd, formally caernarfonshire and Merionethshire ( originally Gwynedd ) particularly Blaenau Ffestiniog,

Blaenau quarries originally used pack horse to barges to ships to export finished slate.

Gravity tramway trains to Porthmadog, trucks returned to Blaenau by horse. Steam trains took over as much quicker return up hill journey. Double fairley , two chimney locos with articulated bogies for tight narrow gauge curves.

Interesting engineering and history.

Some more to come.

The front black loco was giving kids live steam runs later in the day. Made by a chap living in the next village to me. Lovely.

The black loco, same as the rusty one, was last steamed over 25 years ago, similar condition to the rusty one.

Overhauled at Dinas, first public outing, running in and snagging to be done.

Picture from book, Festiniog narrow gauge railway loco trials of 1870.

See emergency brake men on empty slare wagons on return journey to Blaenau Ffestiniog, one by cutting in the far distance..
See passenger and freight wagons also.

The train was stationery performing a " loaded hill start" which it did successfully.
