One measures with the theodolite

ostensibly due to a lack of parts the withdrawn engines in turn solved this issue

Interestingly at the end of all their working lives the N and U designs cost far more to maintain with serious design faults in the frames and cylinders

a smokestack

GR582A 4 Wheel Ffestiniog Railway Quarryman Brake Van, Double Balcony 1920s Green No.7 Brand_Railway-Miniatures One measures with the theodoliteThe Ffestiniog Railway had a couple of double balcony brake vans to use on goods trains. One of them was used by preservationists until 1963. A replica was built in 1998 and initially given lettering in the style of van 1 in preservation use (available as GR580A). Around 2016, the lettering was changed during a repaint to the style seen from the 1920s.
