Ffestiniog 50 - The Golden Jubilee Gala

Minffordd station had vanished off the face of the earth, being replaced by 'Sukna', which is the station at the foot of the climb on the Darjeeling and Himalaya Railway in honour of Adrian Shooter's visiting locomotive.  Minffordd yard contained a qurtet of (variously) protected WW1 40HP Simplex tractors, engaged in a synchronised shunting display.
