FR wagons
This page lists wagons used on the Ffestiniog Railway. More details and photos can be found on individual pages.
This page (and the numeric lists) include wagons used on the modern Welsh Highland Railway. Since the completion of the WHR rebuilding by the Festiniog Railway Company there is now little distinction between "FR wagons" and "WHR wagons" and in particular those wagons acquired during the WHR construction phase can now be seen over the entire F&WHR network.
At some points in the company's pre-preservation history, the spelling waggon (with two gs) instead of wagon, was used in some documentation. Whilst both spellings are used in this wiki, most other sources use wagon spelling when referring to FR vehicles.
