Engineer's train arriving at Tan-y-Bwlch

Headed by Harlech Castle or Castell Harlech, a Baguley-Drewry locomotive was built in 1983 for service in Mozambique, but purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway in 1988 after the order was cancelled. Used as an engineering locomotive and primarily stationed at Minffordd. It is bilingually named.

Platform view at Tan-y-Bwlch

The station masters house and the signal box on the left. There is a small exhibition hut to the right. Much forestry has taken place on the surrounding hillsides. A few minutes later a train arrived from Porthmadog and the inevitable rain started, in torrents.

The newly painted footbridge at Tan-y-Bwlch

A quiet day although a train from Porthmadog was due to arrive. Quieter and cooler than John H Darch's image SH6441 : A busy day at the Tea Room and later noticeably wetter.

The cafe at Tan-y-Bwlch

Covid restrictions have seen this turned into a one way system. In through the door and out through the marquee area. Very quiet at the time although a train from Porthmadog was due and on arrival it duly poured with rain sending most of the passengers under cover for a panad ('cuppa tea') or two.

Welsh Pony on a very wet afternoon at Tan-y-Bwlch

Welsh Pony, previously numbered 5, had recently arrived from Porthmadog and was running around the train before returning. Having deposited it's passengers the train was due to return in about an hour. Meanwhile the heavens had opened and most scurried to the nearby cafe for shelter and a panad ('cuppa tea') or two. The locomotive and crew had 'parked up' under the footbridge to gain some shelter themselves. Welsh Pony was built for the Ffestiniog Railway in 1867. The locomotive was out of use for a prolonged period, including time spent on a plinth in the car park at Porthmadog Harbour Station when it sadly fell into a poor state of repair. Welsh Pony was taken into the works at Boston Lodge in 2014 and, following a comprehensive overhaul, returned to steam in 2020 running on the tracks for the first time in 80 years on 27 June 2020.
