F&WHR: Bygones Weekend - 9th, 10th & 11th October 2020

Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, in 2020 the F&WHR's Annual Victorian Vintage Weekend was replaced by a more Covid-secure 'Bygones Weekend'.
This still allowed for trains from the Victorian Era, the 1920's and the 1950's to be recreated and enjoyed from both on board and from the lineside. Goods Trains, Slate Trains, Gravity Trains and a few other unusual combinations also ran during the weekend.
The event also saw the official naming/rededication of 'Welsh Pony' - which had been running simply as 'No.5' since June 2020 after being returned to steam after an absence of over 80 years.
The official loco roster for the event was:
- Blanche
- Lilla
- Linda
- Merddin Emrys
- Welsh Pony/No.5
- Palmerston (Does Not Feature In This Video)
- Prince
- WD608 (Does Not Feature In This Video and Only appeared briefly on the Friday due to technical issues)
Baldwin Diesel Locomotive 'Moelwyn' also appeared during the event. (Replacing WD608)
