    The other cattle wagon is now on the Ffestiniog Railway but considerably altered.

    Correct, we have a number of historic wagons which have served the line for many years. Do you have a specific query?

    Almost certainly the best source of information is CC Green's Vale of Rheidol Railway - to date the most comprehensive book on all things VoR.

    Regards,

    Will
