Ffestiniog Vintage Weekend October 2002

Sunday dawned as a damp and gloomy contrast to the previous day.  Nevertheless the plan was to watch the gravity trains above Tanybwlch, so on with the walking boots and off up the path from Llyn Mair to Dduallt!  THe highlight of the morning was the full slate train running to the summit on the Deviation, up behind Taliesin & Palemerston and back by gravity.  Moving on up the line to Glanypwll, Palmerston brought a mixed goods train up to Blaenau Ffestiniog.  Shunting problems at Blaenau Ffestiniog led to the timetable going astray and trains starting to run out of sequence, David Lloyd George ran down past Tanygrisiau with a passenger train instead of the expected Palmerston and freight!
