Steaming Along: Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway
Steaming Along the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway
A compilation of footage from between 2005 and 2018.
A look at Britain's longest preserved railway network running from Caernarfon to Blaenau Ffestiniog. We start off by taking a journey along the Ffestiniog from Porthmadog Harbour Station to Blaenau Ffestiniog, taking a look at locations along the line. Before taking a journey from Caernarfon to Porthmadog on the Welsh Highland. Then we take a look at the railways home fleet locomotives and visiting locomotives.
Steaming Along
With my move to a 4K camera in 2018, this seemed like the perfect opportunity for a series of compilation videos with my archived pre 4K material. Steaming Along is a series of six compilation videos looking at the key locations and locomotives on some of Britain's best preserved railways.

I love the industrial nature of the Ffestiniog and its part in the North Wales slate industry. I love the Welsh Highland for the beautiful scenery through which it runs.

Steve shoemaker I can remember as a wee kid the last steam locos. It was sooty and smokey going across a railway bridge or in a tunnel. Good to see you enjoy this. You must have steam machinery in the USA as well? Id love to see that but must admit cape canavral visit is a dream of mine

Wales is one of the most sparsely populated parts of europe and rugged and so beautiful. A great place for holidays and glorious in the sun in between rain and clouds
Nice video I worked on the old welsh highland railway .......my uncle is mr fairburn He practically rebuilt 'RUSSEL' ( which was borrowed pinched used by the festinig railway ) !!! After all .. The real welsh line the longest The most scenic lives I'm glad 4 that But not 4 what the festinog did as a company to the welsh highland name ...... Both companies now employ loads of people great to see in n.wales I love the place .........and long to visit often not often enuff If u watching this in 2020 THIS is what .......the elite wana END Forever Get out visit more Embrace.........OUR land 🙏🙏😊😊

It's a bit of a myth that Taliesin was built in 1999. The original 1876 frames, whistle and cab were used. The frames are, I would argue, the important part. On one side of the cab is one of the original builders' plates with 'Built 1876' on it. On the other side is a new plate with 'Rebuilt 1999 Boston Lodge Works' on it. The other original plate is in Spooners' Cafe.
Duke is based on the Welsh narrow gauge railway tender engine.
SO wish I could've gone on it this year! Still, if its' past is any indicator, it isn't going anywhere
so many parts of this remind me on the narrow guage parts of Thomas the Tank engine series 4 with the physical models
Que vontade de anda nesse trem lindo de mas 😅😅
*TTTE Narrow Gauge Theme Intensifies*
Duke the lost engine from Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

Bom dia amigos..muito interessante. Bacana assim é quê se volta às origens do passado. A história das ferrovias começou aí se não me estou enganado. Se tiver me corrige pôr favor. Olha adoro as locomotiva a vapor. Meu falecido pai era maquinista da extinta efs sorocabana. O primeiro serviço dele na ferrovia foi dê graxeiro de locomotiva a vapor. Tivemos o privilégio dê andar nessas locomotiva no antigo ramal dê piraju sp Brasil. Eu e meus irmãos. Hoje meu amigo os GOVERNADORES anteriores sucatearao nossas ferrovias paulista virou sucatas. Às estações ferroviárias estão no Mato esquecidas. Lembradas só pra quem viveu aquela época. Esquecidas pôr políticos corruptos vagabundos ladroes traidores da pátria. Mas Deus e justiça e esses políticos corruptos vão pagar pêlos seus crimes. Muitos ferroviários morreram de desgosto outros agoniado se suicidaram e triste...Abraço amigo obrigado. Fico muito feliz
19:50 c'étais pas assez penché ... dry stone wall
0:32 ... Which ones Thomas ... lol
Is it really safe to let ppl ride on top of cars like that?
Farlies and Garrett’s don’t make much sense to me. Mallets worked just fine, why over complicate things?
How is the gauge of this railways, please?
