I was so sorry to miss that event due to eye operations but watching this video was certainly the next best thing. Wonderful scenes, pictorial compositions and technical quality. Many thanks and well done, Tom.

Thanks Pete; it's good news for me; Tom does all the hard work and I get to watch the trains instead of peering into a camera! Cheers, Dave

Another fantastic video, cheers and thank you for continuing to post your work!

Great video, lots of amazing trains.

You filmed a lot of action that I missed. Thanks for the video. I stood together at Boston Lodge, filmimg the 'boat'.

You're a really useful railway.

Fantastic video, very nice locations and great camera work! :) I was brakesman on the slate empties that day, spotted myself at 3.55 and 11.40 :-)

Wind powered traction. I've seen it all:-)))

Agreed! And thank you Matthias for your kind comment. Dave

This is an excellent video Tom, well done and keep up the good work.

You.d better watch your back. Tom's getting quite good at this!! Seriously though a very good film. Regards Pete.

Thanks Nathan!

Very nice video and thanks for uploading, you can see me at 1:52 lol. You was filming quite close to me on the first few shots. Regards JamesandPeter

Thanks; we'll look out for you next time! Cheers, Dave

You're a really useful engine.

HI Steve it's called 'The Boat' and is a replica of a gravity trolley that existed in the 19th century. Pretty bizarre, eh? Thanks for your comment. Dave

Second Mamodfans comms. Great video and camera work, well presented thanks.

Excellent, well done.

Thanks for your comment, John. No, I don't think so; the track is in good condition and the guys know their stuff. Dave

Excellent video. Do they have many derailments with the slate trains? They certainly like to zoom about with them. Here's to the next one hundred and fifty.

Brillant video tom

Thanks a lot! Lucky you - would love to ride the gravity train, numb bum, deaf ears and all...! Dave

BELLO !!* * * * *

6:12 . Lol

A good video but why can't some of these camera 'operators' follow the engine through instead of waiting for all the rolling stock go by, or are their camera's in a 'fixed' mode? I don't have any problem's and find it adds more interest in viewing the result after.CAREY CHESHIRE

What's that wind powered cart called?

That train of gravity/brake controlled wagons makes me wonder. I know it was done all the time in the old days, but I wonder how on earth Health and Safety would ever permit it today!

It's because it's still the original Ffestiniog railway company so they have the same safety regulations as when it opened

I know at least one George England class was

Was there a breakaway at 9:48 :P

Hi; not a breakaway. The whole line is built on a slight gradient. This is a gravity train. From 1836 until the 1930's, these trains were the norm. In the days before steam was introduced horses hauled the empty wagons back up to the quarries. Amazing eh?
