    Bob Symes and Alan Garraway... Both sadly missed, but never forgotten.

      did Bob actually drive the steam engine or was he just having a ride on her

    And now the Welsh Highland Railway is completely reinstated too, these lines are an absolutely great example of what can be done with determination creativity and foresight. Marvellous thank you.

    Pure magic, just love Bob, I visited his Guildford home and garden railway in the 70s, he presented my friend Warren and myself with a trophy for our junior model layout at the Astolat, Guildford Model Railway Exhibition. What a great railway the Ffestiniog is!

    Indeed, a really interesting video with some long forgotten views of dereliction, now gratefully left in the past in most cases.

    Very interesting! I like the insightful look at their carriage construction in preservation days.
