Shot 6 Lyd and Blanche heading North towards Tan-y-Bwlch station.

@hyouma09 Thanks for watching.

Beautiful video Phil, this video was really really impressive, and those narrow gauge tracks looks so small compared to the normal ones! Thumbs and favourite from me.

@Jonern67 Thanks Jonern for the comment, The Ffestiniog railway is in one of the most beautiful parts of the British isles and there is breath taking scenery all around you. Phil.

ps Phil forgot to say they should produce a standard guage version of the boat train. I can think of a few downhill spots where they could try it out, LOL

excellent footagePhil, with good choice of locations and action. Have never really spent much time on the Ffestiniog, so I must make the effort to cover one of their gala days.
