Steam Railway Magazine Readers Weekend, September 2003

As part of the joint FR and WHR Steam Railway Magazine Weekend, the FR took the opportunity to launch the restored 'Bowsider' No 18 as part of next year's resurrection of the Vintage train, the 'Victorian Train'.  Each day, Taliesin took the rake of restored carriages to Tanybwlch and back.  The rake will be fully rounded off when the 'Curly-Roofed-Van' appears next year (see the next page).
