During our UK holiday we spent a week close to Porthmadog's Harbour Station where the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways meet. I made many photos over the week and rather than per day I grouped these photo in an album per locomotive.
1 No 143 is coupled up to her 14:10 duty to Caernarfon. Although clouded the weather was reasonable.
2 No 143 is the last NGG16 built by Beyer Peacock in 1958. In fact it was the last steam locomotive by BP at all, after that production ceased.
