Mountaineer and Blanche with varnished stock departing Porthmadog Harbour Station with the 1969 AGM train.
Date
26/04/1969
The ALCo Mountaineer and Blanche with varnished stock departing Porthmadog Harbour Station with the AGM train, 26 April 1969. It was chosen as Mountaineer's name day. The locomotive's new cab is yet to be fitted with spectacle plate glass. The flared chimney is borrowed from Linda (which was having its boiler superheated at Hunslet at the time). Note the original bell of FR England No. 3 installed on its namesake. Blanche's driver is Anthony Massau, whilst Mountaineer is driven by Allan Garraway.
