The little engine that could. It is a magical place that is always in my heart and soul. I have walked up and rode the train down.
Another excellent with magnificent scenic backdrops enhancing the railway experience. I wish I had known about this when I was travelling through Wales back in 1990 in my VW campervan around the world. You bring it to life. Thank you for posting. Greetings from Australia.
Brilliant Austin , you get a real perspective of how steep it is so well done for the trek up to get these fantastic shots .
.........and yet another great video. I could spend hours looking at these wonderful videos.
Wow! What a treat that is. Spectacular scenery as well. Love those little trains,and the gorgeous granite {?} bridge. Well done
What a superb video Austin. Weather conditions were perfect for you. Nice one. Cheers, Dave.
Really excellent filming and a delight to watch - many thanks for all the climbing you must have done to get these lovely sequences.
WOW this is really beautiful! I have just set it on my bucket list :) Absolutely worth a visit.
Great filming, thank you!
I 'did' the LLanberis path in August 2017, and whilst I have mixed feelings about the Snowdon Mountain Railway, the sound of the steam locos is, I think, quite haunting on the mountain side, the diesels rather less so.
Nicely filmed, thanks for sharing.
Superb set of shots here. Last time I took the train to the top it was so misty you couldn't see anything!
Superb video Austin....Those Loco's certainly worked hard up that gradient ! Nice to see You get some Sunshine at the end...Looked a whole lot of fun...Best wishes both....Steve...in the lowlands of Somerset -:)
It's a first for me. First time I've seen a full length video on the SMR, although I realise they must exist. Well done!
Another excellent video, Austin, with splendid capture of action, scenery and animal life. Much preferred the steam from the diesel - if a helicopter had to turn up at all, the timing gave the preferable outcome! It must be something like 25 years since we rode on the SMR (steam only then) as part of a railway holiday - it was very windy then and as a result they only took us part of the way, to a place called Hat Valley (yes, derived from the amount of lost headgear); we stopped, got out and wandered around a bit in the cold and the rode back down again. Very glad you got some decent weather, Bob.
Brilliant video Austin.
Wonderful backdrop to the locos working there way up (and down) this steep line Austin. Hope you ns Pam enjoyed your walk as well. I took the family there for a ride many years ago only to find the cost was way beyond our funds and nobody wanted to take a walk (well it was typical Welsh weather). So I get to see some of it at last. Thanks for sharing. Chris
First of all Austin, congratulations to you and Pam for putting in the efoort to capture this magnidicent footage of the SMR. The steam locos were the best for me, and the cips of the first steam run up was outstanding...what was the reason for the second light engine working?....An unforgettable experience for you both, and amazingly, the weather up there was great for your visit...Regards...Bob
Excellent video as always Austin. Haven't visited the SMR since the early 80s but have just returned from a railway videoing holiday in Switzerland where I visited the Brienz Rothorn Railway (videos on KZread). Their older steam locos are very similar to those on the SMR whereas the more recent modern oil fired builds are very clinical by comparison. I did manage to briefly see one of the older locos and it took me back to that visit to Snowdon many years ago. Keep up the good work. Regards Peter
Great filming throughout the mountain with breathtaking views of Snowdonia railways. Britain's best kept secret.😁
