Quarryman Brake Van, Green, No. 7, Double balcony complex and aesthetically pleasing formationsFrom 1867 the Ffestiniog Railway used dedicated carriages to carry workmen to and from the slate quarries around Blaenau Ffestiniog. From 1885 to 1887, eighteen of what are now referred to as the 'Type 3' Quarrymen's carriage were built featuring sprung axle boxes, one central door on each side and droplight windows.
