Welshpool & Llanfair Railway. Two part video taken in glorious weather at Easter time.
This video shows the preparation and work that all the staff and volunteers do to ensure that this magnificent narrow gauge railway presents itself to the very best effect. I hope more people learn of this wonderful trip between Llanfair Caereinion and Welshpool.
My sincere thanks go to everyone who kindly helped me so enthusiastically with the making of these videos.
Preparation of the locomotives and the movements in the yard are presented prior to showing views and operations seen during the journey to the other end of the line.
Particular mention has been made to some of the coaches that the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway acquired from the Zillertalbahn (or the Ziller Valley Railway) in the Austrian Tyrol. WooWooMad has also made a video on this great railway.
The track gauge of these railways is 2 foot 6 inches (762 mm) and similarities between the two railways can be pleasantly seen from the two videos.
