Even "Sans soleil", very picturesque countryside and a nice relaxing video. The stations, a picture of Victorian order and human-scale construction . . . . unlike most of the modern constructions on the main-lines which could be taken for chicken-processing factories or in the case of the "Parkway" stations the de-training stops for San Quentin . . .

When the sun does come out Wales is awesome. The railway perfectly recreates the days when the journey itself was more important than the speed of the train.
Hello Hans, my daughter has just taken in a puppy to keep Oti company, you can see it on her UA-cam channel - ua-cam.com/users/AbisImages. Time for a 🍺. Cheers. Tim
Thank you Tim for another very interesting video. Like in one of your fairly recent videos taken on the Welsh Highland, the train came to a stop 'in the the middle of nowhere'for no obvious reason. Was it to build up steam pressure for the next steep gradient? I was amazed at the inscriptions on some of the carriages on the train going the other way. I of course knew about the Zillertalbahn. But SKGLB? Is that the Salzkammergut Lokalbahn, another Austian 76cm guage line which closed as long ago as 1957? Wow! (I recently traveled on the replacing bus service, Salzburg-Bad Ischl. That runs every 30 minutes 7-days-a-week!)
The train stopped on a couple of occasions to allow the fireman to stop cars at the road crossing to allow the train to proceed, also some of the wayside halts were barely recognisable as places where the train might stop on request. In the video description, there is an explanation for the continental rolling stock, 2 ft 6 ins is an unusual gauge in the UK whereas 2 ft 6 in (762/760 mm) was relativity common in Europe. As carriages and locomotives were no longer required on lines in Austria and Hungary some were purchased for use on the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway where it was decided to keep them just as they looked on their original railways. A bus is OK, but it's not the same as travelling behind a living breathing steam locomotive.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Thanks Tim for this reply!. But I would make two points about the SKGLB. It is obvious in the 21st century that this line is one of the clearest cases worldwide of a line which should never have closed. It ran through a beautiful Alpine landscape and served several small towns and large villages. Its two terminals at Salzburg and Bad Ischl are major tourist centres. Had the line been in a wealtthy country, it would have been modernised and electrified. In 1957 Austria was still desperately poor. I.mentioned the frequent bus service (see ERT 963) simply to make the point that there is clearly nowadays enough traffic to justify a railway line.
@@Fan652w I read your reply with interest, we have a number of railway lines in the UK that should never have closed, one glaring example is the Keswick and Penrith line in the Lake District national park. This article outlines the current attempt to reopen it - www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/long-running-campaign-to-reinstate-abandoned-railway-line-in-lake-district-gathers-pace-01-08-2023/ As a youngster on holiday, I used to see the train leave Penrith for Keswick, I regret never travelling the line when I had the opportunity.
Some of the rolling stock has come a long way, Austria. A number of passenger coaches and a transfer wagon for standard gauge wagons from the Zillerbahn.
A wonderful journey thanks Tim, 11AM daylight save Sydney's northern beaches it's already 36c Sydney's west expecting 44c it's going to be a real stinker cheers Bob.🥵🌡☀🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Hello Robert, I'm typing my reply on a very wet day here in the UK, rather like the weather I experienced on my summer visit to Wales when this video was shot. I experienced 41c on my recent outback tour, there was a constant warm wind, it was like standing in the blast from a massive hair dryer, a day later I woke up in Wellington (New Zealand) where I had to scrape the ice off the windscreen of my hire car before I could drive it. I hope you enjoy the good weather. 🍺🍺🍺. Tim.
Olá, concordo que o maquinista da locomotiva fez um ótimo trabalho mantendo o trem em movimento na subida de 1 em 29 até o cume da ferrovia e graças aos voluntários que salvaram e mantiveram esta ferrovia funcionando, podemos ver e desfrutar de imagens e sons de locomotivas a vapor trabalhando duro.
I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful landscape and the sound of the locomotive is geving this video it's character.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the sights and sounds of this wonderful Welsh railway.
Bit by bit this jungle of Wales becomes familiar to me ! LOL😄😄

Congratulations for this work. AMAZING. Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you very much!
Very nice. When I had a ride on the railway in 1997, the sun was shining.
I love riding the railway on a sunny late autumn day after most of the leaves have fallen and those that remain are the colours of autumn.
Parabéns Tim, por mais está bela viagem. Saudações aqui do Brasil.
Loved the video, Thank you for sharing
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Hi Tim! At min. 3:25, Oti enjoys the guard eye view, nice 👍. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.

This is amazing!
I'm pleased you enjoyed it, although the real credit goes to staff and volunteers who make days out like this possible 🙂.

39:26 "Zillertalbahn" Ex-German, Swiss or perhaps Austrian carriages. Perhaps picked up cheap as they were going spare from the "Zillertalbahn".
Hello Neil, you are spot on, the carriages were purchased from the "Zillertalbahn" in Austria when they were replaced by modern rolling stock.
It will be good if I can see the train. Nice video .
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. The train can be seen at the beginning and end of the video.

It's nice to see rolling stock and locomotives from Continental Europe, especially the Zillerbahn running through the pretty Welsh countryside.
Nice one, Tim!
Glad you enjoyed it

Hola, es un gusto saber de México, me alegra que hayas disfrutado de este maravilloso ferrocarril patrimonial.
Was the GoPro the main camera?
Yes, I was using a GoPro 11 Black Edition.
I have to ask but what camera was it shot on?
This was filmed with a GoPro 11 Black Edition camera and a Sony FDR-AX53. The lighting was appalling and it was pouring with rain.

That red flag badly needed washing. 😊
I notice the guard has a lo-vis jacket,
It's nice to see the railway staff in the uniforms similar to those worn back in the days before the railway was a heritage line.

Why rush through beautiful countryside? travelling by train is far more relaxing than screaming round corners in a speeding car.
