Summary

A composite view of the internal and external of Carriage 110.

• Detail on the top half of the picture includes the underslung drawer which contains the carriage batteries, control equipment and charger (fitted in the mid 1990s when the vehicle was converted to the new style electrical system). At the top end (right on the picture) can be seen (left to right) the push-pull jumper (this style was fitted to be compatible with the "fly-by-wire" control system installed on Criccieth Castle), the high vacuum pipe and the train vacuum pipe. Hidden behind the train vacuum pipe are the electrical connections. From the Norwegian Chopper coupling, chains can be seen hanging. These are provided to restrict the movement of the bob weight when the corridor connection is in use. Not visible in this external view - located under the carriage on the other side - is the fuel tank and other equipment for the carriage heating (fitted in the early 2000s).

• The lower half of the picture shows the internal arrangement. Lower left is looking "up" towards Blaenau; whilst the lower right is looking "down" towards Caernarfon. In common with the other FR corridor carriages, the double seats are on the view side when traversing the Vale of Ffestiniog. Features in this carriage are the eave mounted lighting and PA system speakers.
