A Trip on the Llangollen Railway
Рет қаралды 68,193
Күн бұрынLess than an hour and a half from Crewe, the Llangollen Railway by the River Dee in Wales boasts some of the most stunning scenery one can see from the seat of a GWR chocolate and cream coach.
A special thanks to the Llangollen Railway's team of staff and volunteers, and especially Charles Allen for granting us access to the signal boxes!

I still have fond memories of the Llangollen Railway from when I visited it last year while on a Study Abroad in Chester. Of all the railways I visited, including the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highlands, a return trip to the Bluebell, the Snowdon Mountain & Llanberis Lake, not to mention the various railways on the Isle of Man, the NRM, and the Steam Museum in Swindon, I think this was my absolute favorite; gorgeous scenery, beautifully preserved stations and engines, extremely friendly staff (the guard even offered to hold the train an extra couple of minutes at Berwyn so I could get a couple shots of the station, and the driver was a jolly soul I won't soon forget). I thought the coaches looked a bit on the worn-down side, but they were still very nice, especially the BSK I spent most of the ride in, chatting with a couple of fellow Americans. A truly memorable experience that I would love to repeat.

@3:50 the bridge has two smoke stains going up from the arch and you don't see very many people putting that detail into their models. I've only seen it once. I think if I don't put as much realism into my layout, I may as well just run the train round and round in a circle on a bare floor. Just a thought. What a beautiful station!

Yes the Ffestiniog Railway In North Wales, it is a lovely route which boasts the best of the industrial slate quarrying. You'll start at Blaneau Ffestiniog (connected to the National Rail) home to the Llechwedd slate Quarry (one of the largest in the world). then you will depart into a woodland area where the train will eventually loop on its self. I believe to go up gradient and eventually arrive in a familiar place to you ... Porthmadog. This line is an home to many locomotives and unique rolling stock. But before you come i advise you bring a Welsh dictionary, because this is true Welsh Country!! Diolch yn Fawr, gweld chi yno cyn bo hir! ( Thank you, see you there soon!)

If you are interested, please contact me through the email address associated with my channel (the one with AOL). I would be very grateful as I am a massive fan of yours!

The temporary Corwen East Station is no longer existent. No trains will run to Corwen till October 2019. And why didn't you shut your window before the train entered Berwyn Tunnel? You must obey that rule, or else 1, you'll end up with damaged eye-sight from red-hot sparks flying into your eyes at 100mph and 2, you'll end up banned from the railway forever more. Learn from your mistake or don't go back to the railway. But nice video nevertheless.

I tested them and they seem to work fine. If not that's ok. I wanted to ask because I thought that I don't need them. I got them for my cousins 6th birthday and he already has them. He really likes Thomas. Oh and I looked in 3 shops that do Hornby near me and I couldn't find the inter city's. Would you recommend me getting them online?
