One wet weekend in late October 1996, the volunteers of the Welsh Highland Railway held their third annual gala known as Dirty Chappies III. Amongst the displays, this demonstration freight train showed off the splendid and varied set of ex-Royal Navy box vans, recently regauged from 2'6" to 600mm. At the head, Russell is about to couple up, then to wait for its return to Porthmadog once the awaited passenger train has cleared the section.
