Next Train
Not sure what type this one is maybe 4-6-0. It's called Lord Nelson by the way. As you can see the old coal fuel system has been replaced by some sort of gas gadgetry on the rear truck. That's progress I guess. I liked it better when they were powered by coal and all the soot from the engine used to blow back and either half blind you or cover your clothes in little black smuts. I guess we didn't really but nostalgia will let you believe anything! Copyright D.Maggs 2006

Snowdonia Railway
One of the little engines that pull the Snowdonia railway train up the mountain side of that name. These steam trains have been largly replaced by diesel engines now but they still run occasionally. This one was built in 1856 so, as you can see, it has lasted well. Mount Snowdon is the highest mountain in England & Wales UK. Copyright D.Maggs 2006
