    Hi All,

    Does anyone know what happened to the two South Tynedale coaches and the replica quarryman's coaches that were part of the PQR collection at Felin Fawr?

    The replica PQR quarryman’a coaches went to Bala and I believe are still there. I don’t know about the Tynedale coaches without asking around.

    They were in October and are permanent residents, I'm sure, knowing who owns them.

    Replica or not? IMHO not as they were built by the Penrhyn Railway for use on the Penrhyn Railway, therefore are the next in the series. Coach Q was the last one built by the original Penrhyn Railway and, the reopened PR built R, S and T.

    There have been conversations in the past over the authenticity of new PQR carriages.
    The three at the Bala Lake Railway are the genuine items having been built at Felin Fawr Works.
