- Best of Britain's Preserved Railways (Wales) - this commercial VHS tape was released in 1994 but most of the content seems to have been filmed between 1991 and 1993. An Interesting look at the Great Little Trains in the early 1990s. I don't own the content or copyright, I uploaded it simply because it's now historically interesting

The into is *pure* nostalgia for me, used to play this on VHS constantly. Thanks for sharing!
I remember buying the DVD when I was a young kid. this and Strange trains are so vivid memories of my childhood
Magnificent! Just the name "Bob Symes" is enough to get a 'Like' from me. Sadly, still trying to find some of his "Making Tracks" series (with Mary-Jean Hasler, if my memory is correct) -- I live in hope... EDIT Not a bad guess: I typed the above before I'd watched this video, and just saw her name in the credits. ;)
Robert Symes will be sadly missed by us all
26:56 This Famous Locomotive Sir Lamiel Built In 1925 From The Southern Railway Design By Richard Maunsell Which Used To Worked On Famous Named Trains Such As The Golden Arrow Boat Train From London Victoria To Dover In Kent And The Bournemouth Belle Pullman Express Train From London Waterloo To Southampton Central In Hampshire And Bournemouth In Dorset. Thanks Mate. X
47:38 "Dry rails and good running" from Skarloey...his little old twin
Bob Symes will be missed.
Thank you so much for uploading this. what a fantastic program. i remember seeing it as a child, and now having crossed over the border, it reminds me of my childhood in wales. some of the pronunciations are a bit off in places but i'm not complaining. i believe there are 4 programs in the series: Northern England, Southern England, Scotland and Wales.
As a side note, i thought the Rheidol tanks were built by Davies & Metcalfe....
Thank you. I've got the two programs from Northern & Southern England and they'll be uploaded in the next week or two. Don't have the Scotland one unfortunately
About the Vale of Rheidol locos, they were based on 2 locomotives built by Davies and Metcalfe, sadly not officially built by them.
@@Northerner_Transport_Hub that is a shame, what happened to those 2 locos?
@adamdrummer1991 no idea as they were built a long time ago
20:48 Snowdon mountain railway is one of my favourite ABT rack and pinion railway in Wales and Britain. Number 4 Snowdon and number 7 Ralph
Snowdon number 4, 0-4-2 tank engine. Built by Swiss Locomotive & Engine works at Winterthur Switzerland in 1896 and works number 988. 5 steam locomotive delivers to Llanberis. Number 1 L.A.D.A.S. number 2 Enid, number 3 Wyddfa, number 4 Snowdon and number 5 Moel Siabod On the open day engine number one Ladas fell from the curve from Clogwyn down to the mountain on the opening day. Sadly number 1 never return to steam it use her parts to mend the 4 steam locomotives. In 1922 three new steam locomotives arrived from Switzerland number 6 Padarn, 7 Ralph and 8 Eryri. 1963 number 2 and 5 locomotives send to Hunslet in Leeds for overhaul
