Thank you!
Fantastic steam train ride. Looking forward to September when I will once again have the great experience on the train from Caernarfon
Mooie filmopnamen . Bijzonder locs. (Garrats) Fraaie natuur..
Lovely piece filming thank you. I particularly liked the run through the houses.

I'm pleased you liked it. Totally agree about the Tan y Grisiau sequence - something extra magical about steam and old housing, old fencing, etc - in close proximity - and the b+w adds extra authenticity perhaps.
Benj, another great video, love the b&w.

Thank you Mr Jones! The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland are such superb railways - and the mountains, the slate, the housing, Tan y Grisiau and those two locomotives just call out for the monochrome treatment, I reckon.....
Very nice video Dave.Really enjoyed.

Pleased you liked it. A great atmosphere!
It's a very nice railway! As a technology fan, I'm interested in the bridges/transitions between the Passenger Cars, I don't know of any bridges between the Passenger Cars on small railways Can you make a little video about these bridges and how it works? I would be very grateful
Very nice video with some interesting viewpoints, but the section on the WHR was disproportionately short,

I'm pleased you appreciated it - I had other commitments late afternoon - such that filming opportunities for me had to end at the extended stop at Waunfawr. I will endeavour to do justice to the WHR at the forthcoming WHR Centenary event!
