The curiously-named “Bug Boxes” 4-wheel coaches were the first passenger-carrying coaches built for the Ffestiniog Railway. Dating from 1864 to 1867 they were built by Brown, Marshall / Company. The term “Bug Box” is a more recent term given to them, possibly in the 1950s, and originally they were referred to as “Small Birmingham's”. Ten were built, including two replicas, and 7 survive, still doing what they were originally designed to do, moving passengers over the delightful and splendidly-scenic narrow gauge Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales.
This product would be ideal for railway enthusiasts and history buffs interested in exploring the Ffestiniog Railway in the UK, where it offers an authentic and immersive experience of traveling aboard a third-class carriage similar to those used by the railway's original passengers.
