Return to the Ferry
Ian Goodman Collection
7th June 2009

Over a number of years during the mid 1970's through to late 1980's Ian Goodman recorded events at the Fairbourne Railway. There are two parts to the collection - the 15" Fairbourne Railway and the transition to and eventual operation of the 12.25 inch line NWNGR line (this will form a second collection soon to be added) - if you think the dates are wrong, please let me know and I will adjust
