Hudson Hunslet 2207 (3) - 3 July 2013

Displayed in the centre of Blaenau Ffestiniog are Hudson Hunslet 4wDM 2207 and slate wagons typical of those once in use in the area. These used to be displayed on a plinth but the area has been significantly and thoughtfully remodelled so that lines of edge-on slate tiles mark the former track which passed through what is now a car park and onwards to the quarry. The locomotive and wagons stand on part of this 'track'. The building behind and to the right of the locomotive was once the terminus of the Ffestiniog Railway. Today it is a toilet block and, at the time of the picture, was being refurbished.
