One of the North Wales excursion trains depicted in the previous view is seen here near Chwilog in 1960 but this time the Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 is piloted by a Fairburn 2-6-4T. there is nore chance of identifying this train as the bunker of the pilot loco carries an excursion label 1C68 or 1G68.

Old Pix Brought to the Fore
Chwilog is only a short distance from Afonwen on the erstwhile LNWR line from the latter to Carnarvon and it was a line that evidently attracted occasional heavy excursion traffic requiring double-heading. An Ivatt Mickey Mouse 2-6-2T pilots a Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 on just such a working circa 1960.Previous | NextKingsley & Froghall station, sympathetically resurrected in recent times by the <a href=http://www.churnet-valley-railway.co.uk/guidetoline.htm target=_blank><u><font color=blue>Churnet Valley Railway</font></u></a> (opens in new window), was a former North Staffs (NSR) outpost that here plays host to Stanier 4MT 2-6-4T 42609 in 1960.
