Ffestiniog Vintage Weekend October 2002

The long rake of slate wagons returned from Dduallt as a gravity train, passing Taliesin and it's vintage train in the siding.

It was also a weekend for showing off the range of historic carriages, and the weekend was the opportunity to annouce the creation of two complete vintage rakes. One will be victorian to complement no 15 with appropriately liveried 4 wheelers, bowsider and a replica of a curly-roofed brake van. The other will expand on the 1920s rake which will start with no 10, no 15 and the newly repainted zoo car shown here.
