Very well done film. I'd like to know how to obtain reservations, perhaps for 2025. Very good of the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) to present this in their June Turntable communication to members. Hope fellow members of the 009 Society have an opportunity to share this as well. A big thanks to all involved in the production, good show all👍🚂🚃
I’m glad you enjoyed the video, the Snowdonian is a great day out. The 2025 version isn’t on sale yet but the best bet is to keep an eye on our website and our Facebook page where it will be announced. We post all our videos on the NGRM forum so a lot of 009 modellers see them there; maybe we should look at posting on the 009 Society website too. One of our team is a keen 009 modeller and a member.
Three double engines in fine fettle. A rare treat to be sure. Last time I saw that, one of 'em was green. 🙂 I doubt those two lovely visiting Decaulville locos have done runs that long in preservation. Did either benefit from a sprinkling of Blodge's finest fairy dust over the weekend?

The two visiting engines went on what looked like a jolly with no revenue-paying passengers? It was not long ago the cost of coal was a major concern to the railway. However, it made a great video.
@@FfestiniogWelshHighland What about the MD's request for funds due to the difficult economic situation at the railway post-COVID and the high price of coal? Other railways are also running freight demonstrators when every passenger is vital.....it does not make sense.
@@markfinney4157 Maybe the coal was paid for privately? Maybe someone chartered it further up the line for photographs? Maybe it needed testing after maintenance with out passengers? Maybe all is not what it seems? Maybe we shouldn't rush to judge a book by it's cover? Just Maybe. Possibly.
@@markfinney4157 railways are allowed to have a little fun every now and then it's just special event it's not like their running freight demonstrations every running day
