'Beddgelert' on The Fairbourne Railway

08 Oct 2016 16 19 737
The Fairbourne Railway is a 12 1⁄4 inch (311 mm) gauge railway running for 2 miles (3.2 km) from the village of Fairbourne on the Mid-Wales coast, to the end of the peninsula at the Barmouth Ferry railway station. The railway has four steam locomotives and one of the four, 'Beddgelert', seen here returning to Fairbourne with four coaches, is one of them. All four steam locos are half sized replicas of previous narrow gauge engines. In the background, across the Mawddach estuary, is "The Cardigan Bay Express" hauled by 7819 Hinton Manor!
