On the 16th October 2004 the trackgang were happily laying extensions to the carriage sidings at the back of the carriage shed when we were informed that the carriages wouldn't be coming any further into the carriage shed as the loco had come off the rails. Of course we carried on busily laying the tracks! 143 had come to grief whilst propelling its train back into the carriage shed. This had resulted in part of one power bogie becoming derailed and the B wagon that was next to the loco being pushed over at a 45 degree angle. The following day Ffestiniog staff and loco crew re-railed the loco using large pan jacks and bits and wood and rail. The Black Hand Gang later assisted the rolling stock volunteers in returning the B wagon to the rails. It is not known whether the broken spring on 143 was a result or the cause of the incident. |
