They were known as ‘Bowsiders’ because of the tumblehome shape of their sides. Numbers 17 and 18, built in 1876 are shorter with one 1st class compartment. Numbers 19 and 20, built in 1879 are longer with two 1st class compartments. All four are still in service on the Ffestiniog Railway today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"5vufm-0-0\" data-editor=\"a6q3q\" data-block=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"5vufm-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"5vufm-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRed \u0026amp; Cream Livery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"5vufm-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe red and cream livery was first applied to a rake of carriages in 1987 for the ‘Mountain Prince’ train service.
