The bright green trees suggest early summer at Raven Square, in this case 26th May, 2012. No.823 Countess has just arrived with the Vintage train rake of the 3 Pickering replica carriages. Built with the aid of substantial donations, by the Festiniog Railway at their Boston Lodge works, these coaches look every bit the part. With longitudinal seating, these carriages offer a completely different experience to the Austrian and Hungarian carriages which form the mainstay of services.
