Fairbourne Railway - Annual Steam Gala 2021 

Fairbourne Railway
Annual Steam Gala 2021
With trains running every 40 minutes and locomotive changes taking place at Barmouth Ferry throughout the day, a very enjoyable day was had at the Fairbourne Railway's 2021 Gala. The 12 1/4inch gauge saw a rare visiting steam locomotive in the form of No. 4 'Christopher' from the Littlehampton Miniature Railway (built by Exmoor Steam Railway), joining the home fleet of Russell (based on the Welsh Highland Railway Hunslet of the same name) and Sherpa (based on Darjeeling Himalaya Railway Class B Sharp Stewart locomotive).
The short stretch of 15 inch gauge line had visiting engines from Rhyl Miniature Railway and Windmill Farm Railway near Burscough. From WFR was 'Mountainter' and from Rhyl was 'Cagney'.
We also see tram engine 'Daisy' around Fairbourne station, this locomotive was also visiting from the LMR.
The final locomotive seen in action is Hunslet 'Gwril'.
