With celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the railway's foundation incorporating horse drawn trains and gravity trains, presumably there must have been Dandy Wagons? Has anyone any pictures or drawings of these? I know the group is very busy with preparations for this event; but any assistance will be welcome. I do have a model of the one in the Ffestiniog Museum and which though similar in design, is bound to have differences. For the record, I model in 009 and am hoping to model a working (simulated) model of a horse drawn train.
Your kind assistance will be much appreciated.

A sandwiches and gravity descent with guide of the whole route ?
Even better would be the orders to permit the extension of the railway 8)
