Ffestiniog Railway: Observation Car No. 102

26th July 2005 to 30th June 2005

Third of four collections showing a week in the life of the Ffestiniog. On the 23rd of July brand new Observation coach Number 102 enter traffic. Well sort of. Unfortunatly it had to be withdrawn again the following day in need of minor modifications to the corridor connection. This were completed on the Tuesday 26th, and painted by myself. The coach therefore worked its second "first" train on the 18:20 on the 27th. This coach sets a new standard for the FR and I was able to ride in it on the Saturday - its simply superb.
