Thanks for taking us on that great Train Journey. Great Filming ! Visited Wales from NZ in 2019, and LLangollen was my favorite Town!. You bought back some nice memories.😀
Hola, han realizado un vídeo muy hermoso , es un lugar precioso y el tren parece un tren Austriaco, es muy hermoso todo y los patitos del rio son muy lindos, gracias y Felicitaciones.
Whilst not a steam train, these multiple units were part of the railway for as long-if not longer- than many classes of steam engine. Great to see these examples so well looked after. You missed a trick not sitting behind the Driver and seeing the line ahead. One of the great things about most of these units was the way you could sit in the leading carriage and see both the Driver and the line ahead- I can remember coming across the Forth Bridge in about 1991 in a similar unit and seeing the bridge loom up and around our little unit as it rumbled across. Modern trains are very boring and uncomfortable by comparison☹. Thanks for sharing -all volunteer heritage railways need love and support if we are to keep all this heritage alive for the future.
Thank you Lara, and the boys. I was totally absorbed with your videoing and conversational presentation. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your outdoor adventures. The Welsh countryside is beautiful. Can't wait for more.
Nice video - it's been a long time since I was in Llangollen, the station next to the river is very picturesque. When my children were young we used to have a few days in Criccieth and ride on the ffestiniog railway as well as visiting the rabbit farm and piggery pottery - happy days !!
@@nicholaswiddup520 Thankyou so much that’s very kind, I loved the train, it was fabulous, yes my filming is a bit raw, I had about an hours footage and usually chop it up to about half hour to make easy viewing, I don’t mess around with the picture or bother with filters, the GoPro takes a good quality, check out my recent family camp video x
@@boblovell5789 O wow, thankyou for your nice comment, yes I loved the train, the stations, I really couldn’t hide my excitement, it was amazing, hopefully when I return it will be a steam train, I can fully understand how people love them. To film it going along I stretched my arm out the window to capture the train on its journey in the lovely surroundings x
@@larasoutdooradventures5685 What? it was just a joke, hence the 🙂, sorry if you got offended but I don't understand why. I live in the west of Scotland which is also notorious for the fact that it rains a lot.
Lovely vid and nice to see my valley in all it's glory. Bit of an editing issue though, as I'm not sure how you got to Carrog before Glyndyfdwy . maybe a worm hole or some thing LOL!
@@dilwyn1 yes sorry about that, it’s because I ran out of battery and had to use other GoPro and uploaded off both, I knew it was there but didn’t have a lot of time to get it done as was due to be in Blackpool the day after.. I will live with that one ☺️ it doesn’t spoil the main purpose which is the amazing train ❤️
@@dilwyn1 lesson learned, I am terrible for forgetting spare batteries and usually carry on with my phone, but too risky sticking it out of the window, I chopped out the long black tunnel too, to chop up a divided hour off both cameras and try get it to half hour so people don’t get bored. I was pleased with the picture quality and amazing views, I hope to get the steam train very soon and take spare batteries 😂 glad you enjoyed it x
@@larasoutdooradventures5685 Yes it's a Class 109 DMU built in 1957 by D Wickham and co. The majority of them were exported to Trinidad but this one survvied before being completely restored and rebuilt in the early 2000s by the people at that railway. All Class 109s were retired by British Rail in 1971 having been deemed a failure.
Wonderful video, from my favourite Heritage line. 50s! I was commuting on those in late 80s! I would ride those anytime before the sprinters that replaced them.
Liked how the music was BACKGROUND. Cos I like to hear the train sounds. We're from the UK and now run a tourist attraction model railway in Canada. If you click our logo you will experience what we do.
@@larasoutdooradventures5685 we went on the Llangollen railway when my kids were younger on a Thomas day, loved the experience. Hope you make it to KWVR around Haworth, a lovely place to visit 👋 ATB Darren
@@chrishopewynne2845 it’s not meant as running commentary, it’s a normal family day out enjoying the experience. My videos are kept natural, I’m a chatterbox by nature , I was really excited by the train and surroundings x

Thoroughly enjoyable, well done!

What a really beautiful video. A simple railway journey in the holiday season no clever stuff but an ordinary family day out. Loved the music.

That was so well filmed. The enjoyment of all concerned was so apparent. Good to see parts of the town and the station exploration. Top vid.

"It's stopped raining!" Those unfamiliar with Wales may not appreciate the significance of this remark 🙂

That first train you went on is actually the last of it's type to even exist.

@@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge hi, yes I have heard of the Thomas tank train, must have been a great sight x
The running commentary is …..distracting ….do you think we have neither eyes or intelligence to see and interpret ?
Otherwise FANTASTIC !

Nice photography, a pleasure to watch. England was made for trains and train preservation societies. Very scenic.
@@TheYutongCaptain Thankyou, I am improving slowly x
Or, in this case, Wales
