100 year old steam engines still in service. Now that's incredible.

3:16-3:32, and 13:49-16:38 - what amazing footage of No. 2 "Enid", especially with the locomotive running solo for a test run. Getting footage of the front of the Snowdon Mountain Engines is very difficult as they push the coaches up the mountain. By the way, I visited this railway during my summer holiday last year, and luckily for me, my steam service was provided by No. 6 "Padarn". :)

I hear their was actually a number 7 and number 8 engine on this railway but it they where sadly scrapped The number 7 was named ralph the number 8 was named eryri

I drew a photo of Moel Siabbod, the mountain engines are so beautiful! Edit: the part in one of the rev w awdrys book where culdee falls down the mountain is actually based on an event that took place shortly after the railway had opened, strong winds caused one of the steam engines to get blown off the track, and down a ravine! (Parts of the engine might still be able to be found, because the locomotive was never recovered)

A stunning production Ger, you had the same loco to the summit as we did....the lineside footage showing how steep the gradients are, and what a hard job it is for staff and loco alike to climb to the summit.....Regards...Bob

@caerphillycastle 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks Bob, I really enjoyed filming the trains although it was very hot & there were midges everywhere especially on me! The steam locos seem to have a distinct sound of their own. The gradients are very steep in places. The locos do this work day in day out hammering their way to the summit. Plus, they are all over 100 years old with Padarn 96 years! Hope I last that long, Geraint

Just great thanks for sharing! I don't know what else to say!

Snowdon really isn't a proper railway in my eyes, not like other heritage lines. It focuses more on just taking the passengers up and down, rather than being heritage and trying to tell its story, rather sad really

@caerphillycastle 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry to to disagree with you but it very much is a heritage Railway. The line itself is uniqiue to the UK built in 1896, the locos all have unique history, other than in Switzerland you will not find such a line in the whole world. It aint sad at all its the opposite! But you are entitled to your opinion.
