Welsh Highland Pictures October 21 2010

Post by Ian Roberts »

Photos taken on a trip from Caernarvon to Pont Creoser on October 21st - Sorry about the quality, I had an auto focus problem I only discovered on getting back to the hotel that night.
The loco was NGG16 No 87 in the dark blue livery. This loco does not have electric lighting so the end look a little plain compared to the original condition.
Note the attachments may be duplicated and not in the correct order for reasons I cannot work out

Running round at Pont Creoser which is the temporary terminus at the time, the official opening to Portmadoc has now taken place as reported elsewhere, but the full service will not start until next running season.
