  • No bugger onboard?

  • @BenReillyUK

    This was a test train before the extension through to Beddgelert and the Pass opened to the public.

    The track gang invited ourselves on to the train for a ride through the Aberglaslyn Pass, but we decided to jump off at Beddgelert again to chase the train to get some photos and videos as the heavy train climbed the 1 in 40 for the first time :)

    The trains are certainly busier now!

  • I love those whistles on these trains, so meaty and resonant. Never heard anything quite as chill inducing apart from Sir Nigel Gresley's.

  • @richsoft

    Very cool! Thanks for uploading. Impressive power.

  • Of coarse not, that's why he's on the WHR

  • The driver can see where he's going?

  • You could probably edit out your coughing-quite nice footage.

  • you could put it that way i suppose

  • I've just turned the bass right up on my woofers and this sounds awesome! you can even hear the rumble of the oil firing. im going to spend a whole weekend watching this line from all different places.

  • Its a cloud of steam with a diesel train behind it!
