Wonderful video, very well done :)
Lovely video and the train looking great, but where were the passengers ?
Like 24 beautiful landcascape, very nice video, greetings 🚂👍🙋♂️
Fantastic!! Thanks for sharing. Greg, NZ.
To say the loco and it's train is a treat, is a massive understatement. That countryside is to die for. We are so lucky to have our heritage lines.They deserve all the support they can get.
I visited the line for the first time this year and enjoyed the ride immensely. Great video
Lovely video; it is good to see the results of our work to put on a good show for the photographers.
Built in Manchester, my neck o' t' woods!
Went a few years ago, and it's well worth the ride.
Great video. You obviously had better weather than we had at the Vale of Rheidol railway earlier in the week.
I reckon we had about 15 minutes of sunshine in the 3 days of the photoshoot. There were times we waited in the rain for 60 minutes before it was worthwhile having a run past. You must have had even worse weather!
What was its original..._original_ livery?
The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway was opened in 1903 and was operated by the Cambrian Railways until they were absorbed by the GWR in 1922.
The two locos The Earl and The Countess were originally in lined black and the carriages in cream upper and green lower. The original carriages were scrapped in the early 1930s when the GWR substituted a bus service for passenger trains. The carriages are replicas of the originals.
