If 'YOU' can provide any information on Ffestiniog Railway coaches not yet listed 'WE' would be happy to produce the kit
The railway was built as a gravity and horse drawn line to transport slate from the quarries in the mountains around Blaenau Ffestiniog. As the slate industry flourished, so did the railway and the town of Porthmadog. Slates from Blaenau Ffestiniog were exported to ports all over the globe - many in ships built in Porthmadog.
The railway was extremely successful and introduced many innovative engineering solutions to cope with the rapid increase in output from the quarries and in the number of passengers it carried. Engineers from around the world came to study the Ffestiniog Railway and, as a result, it has influenced the design and construction of railways in many countries.
We are trying to produce a kit for every coach that ran on the Ffestiniog Railway and its associated railways The Welsh Highland Railway and the North Wales Narrow Gauge RailwayWe can supply a kit for any coach that ran on the Ffestiniog Railway from 1864 to 1964 when the Ffestiniog celebrated 100 years carrying passengers and the 100 series coaches were introduced
Since then the Ffestiniog Railway has introduced many more 'modern' coaches and rebuilt many others. Kits for these later Ffestiniog Railway coaches are gradually being added to the range.
