A visit to Barmouth cannot be complete without crossing the estuary by ferry to Fairbourne and it’s narrow gauge railway. Here we are at its end terminus which gives us a chance for a photo call as well as coffee and cakes. The 12.25inch gauge railway has been running for 100 years and is run mostly by volunteers.
The close up-engine PiP shows ‘Sherpa’ a 0-4-OST built in 1978 and the symbols on the side of the engine gives a clue to its Darjeeling Himalaya Railways connection, on which it is designed.
The other picture shows just how many carriages these small engines can pull (or push). It is on its way back to Fairbourne itself with its cargo of happy holiday makers. The buildings show parts of Barmouth on the other side of the unseen River Mawddach.

Yes, it is always nice to walk around here and it seems to have a better mini climate as well. We may have gone into the café if not for the fact we had our flask of coffee with us -so a car picnic. It seems these engines are particularly powerful for the size as we saw at least one trip where every seat was taken by many adults as well as children. I think it may be a while until we get here again as this trip was to finish what we started last year and was curtailed due to us catching Covid.

Cheers. Herb
