This video is a warm-up for my American adventure next month.
Father's Day!
A visit to the Brecon Mountain Railway near Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales - a two-foot narrow gauge railway which is proud of it's Baldwin-built American locomotives.
We ride behind (the stunningly beautiful!) locomotive number 2 which was built in 1930, and worked in South Africa up until it crashed in 1973.
Their other locomotive, number 1, was built in 1897 and previously had two owners in Brazil.
The railway are currently building another 2-6-2 locomotive and also a Forney type 2-4-4, - both from Baldwin design.
Join us on this scenic ride alongside a reservoir in the beautiful Brecons.
