Goods trains were a key feature of the 2013 Victorian Weekend, with a variety of loco hauled and gravity powered slate trains alongside a short mixed rake of freight wagons.
The original Ffestiniog Railway locomotive, Princess, was cosmetically restored for the anniversary celebrations. During March, she took pride of place at Paddington station for a months display, advertising the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways. It's slightly younger sister Prince took a trip to London as well. She went down for the Acton Depot open day and was fresh from overhaul.
