Ffestiniog Railway Bolster waggons

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any good pictures of the restored bolster waggons? Have some old Binnie flats that need tidying up.

As it happens, I found them at Beamish when I was visiting the Great North Steam fair last month and thought to take a photo, hope this is of use!
