Ffestiniog Interactive II Gala, May 2003

Arriving back at Porthmadog on the train we were pleased to see Lilla restored to health. On Sunday morning a little too much had been asked of her when she took the gravity train to Rhiw goch with Stanhope, causing a few tubes to start leaking. A gentle warm through on Monday morning seemed to help so she was back on 'drive-an-engine' duties on No 4 road, so we had a little ride. James will have to grow a bit, he can't see over the firebox!

We had passed the Funkey at Tanybwlch on the way down, so we dropped in at Minffordd on the way home so James could see his favourite engine...
