Working Party 26th and 27th June 2010

Number 4 is pulled out of the shed by the works shunter as Merddin Emrys steams past having shunted its stock back to the carriage sidings after two trips from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog. - Andrew Nelms 26/06/2010

Number 4s sandbox removed from the loco. This box was seemingly a Dahuichang modification as all other examples of C2 class locomotives have a sandbox build into the curved dome cladding. This won't be used again as Number 4 will be rebuilt in its original style. - Andrew Nelms 26/06/2010
The last ever view of Number 4 with its original cab. - Andrew Nelms 26/06/2010
