Much of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway’s ‘Hunslet 125’ event took place around Porthmadog and Minfordd, where many photographers and video makers enjoyed a feast of entertainment. However, we decided that it would be interesting to make a video showing some of the trains that ran on the Welsh Highland section, as there seemed to be less visitor attention on this line.

The main part of the video shows Linda and Blanche putting in a breath-taking run from Caernarfon to Porthmadog, followed by a few scenes of the visiting engines shuttling up and down to either Beddgelert or Hafod-y-Llyn – the latter in no particular chronological order.

Due to the phenomenal organisation that had gone into what must be the railway’s most ambitions event yet, coupled with the fantastic weather, ‘Hunslet 125’ was a massive success, and our humble thanks, as always, go to the staff and volunteers from the railway whose hard work, vision and determination, made the event so successful – this video is for you.

Filmed by Dave and Tom Waldren on 22nd/23rd June 2018.

    Eine Super Schmalspurbahnlinie mit klasse Lokomotiven und Wagen die man in Deutschland so nicht kennt in einer schönen Ladschaft, das Video hat es in sich. Ich wünsche den Filern weiterhin so eine gute Hand. Bitte schauen Sie doch auch mal in meinenen Amateurfilmkanal mit ein paar Fimen vieleicht gefällt Ihnen da ja auch etwas.
