StoneRoad2013's photos with the keyword: Harbour Station

Arthur B and Evan MD sitting in the cafe at Harbour station, on the occasion of Fred B's retirement on 11 April 1989. [not sure who is back to camera]

Porthmadog Harbour Station with Garratt No87 and her train. The first carriage looks tiny because it is to the Ffestiniog loading gauge. Details for 87. Wheel arrangement is 2-6-2+2-6-2, class NGG16 built in 1937 by Cockerill (Seraing, Belgium). Spent most of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction, it was imported to the UK by the Exmoor Steam Centre. Boston Lodge works carried out a major restoration, when she was initially liveried in photographic grey on being finished in 2009. Her livery has been Midnight Blue since a repaint in March 2010. As with all Festiniog / Welsh Highland steam locomotives, she is coal fired.

Arthur in typical pose with Blanche, about to take charge of the "Mountain Prince" service train. Time to get back to the van. The first carriage is "16" which is one of the first two iron-framed bogie carriages. (scanned from photo)
