As it was my birthday I was treated to first class
travel in the Pullman coach. I don't know about the other
coaches but the Pullman was lovely and warm. |
| |
|
| One of the Garret engines. Not a typical welsh engine
but a very impressive one never the less. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Having corridor connectors allowed me to go and stand
in the open coach. The views on the line are amazing and
it was worth braving the cold for short bursts to take in
the scenery. |
| |
|
| High up the mountins the line twists and turns giving
some nice views of the loco. |

 |
Ryn Ddu - End of the line for now -Easter 2009 and it
will be running throught to Porthmadoc or even Blanuea
Festiniog (well not with this loco). As the railway is
intended to help reduce traffic in Snowdonia National
Park, they are not opening any stations until the route
is finished for the fear of generating more traffic.

| Close up of the Pullmans coach. It is my intention to
have a 5" gauge version. |

Clark inside the Pullmans. Seat are single arm chairs
which are very comfortable. |
| |
|
|
Me on the foot plate. Well it was my birthday |
| Carnarfon station at night. The cabin/building in the
bottom of the picture is the ticket office/gift shop for
the railway. To the right of this picture and just out of
shot is the old railway tunnel under the town which is
now used as a road tunnel. |
 |
| This railway is one to watch. It is a
professionally run outfit. Running from a major town out
in to the Snowdonia scenery is an amazing journey. Well
worth the money. |
