Rhyd Ddu North Wales 11th September 2010

Amid the spectacular scenery of Snowdonia, Beyer-Garratt NGG16 2-6-2 + 2-6-2T 138 (1958), formerly of the South African Alfred County Railway, climbs the steep gradient south of Rhyd Ddu with the return train to Caernafon.

This was my first trip on the railway and was definitely worth the visit. At this time the line terminated at Pont Croesor in the middle of nowhere a few miles north of Portmadog, a 45mile round trip, but today it runs the full length of the line to Portmadog.

Yes it is Graham. We passed it at Waunfawr station on this trip. I'm not sure if it's still operational 12 years later though.
