Superpower on the Welsh Highland Railway - September 2024
On the 14th and 15th of September the Welsh Highland Railway saw a return to it's superpower event, sadly I could only attend on the Sunday when the weather was abysmal as seen in the video, which led to the cancellation of a few shots, overall it was still well worth a trip and it was a great gala put on by the WHR, locos featured in this video are:

This video shows the Ffestiniog's railways mid autumn midweek operations, filmed the week before they started winding down at the end of the running season, I found it quite incredible that when most railways were shutting up shop for the year, the Ffestiniog railway were still providing a 3 train service.

Awesome
Wonderful ❤
Lovely clips here! Did you have others filming with you or did you manage to chase it down to the various locations?
Me along with my dad and grandad filming, my grandad at the bridge and then me and my grandad chasing it doing two shots each
Great selection of shots there 👍
Thanks!
Fab video! Great selection of engines, carriages, gravity train, and *boat*. Stunning landscape. Looked like a lovely day out.
I was there on Friday and there was non stop action from 7am to 10pm. What a show. Great video, thank you.
As always they put on a great show, such a unique gala experience to what any other railway can offer
Having just returned from a week visiting French metre gauge lines (including Vivarais and Digne lines) I now realise how fantastic the Ffestiniog Railway really is. The sheer variety of locomotives and rolling stock and the quality of the track make it an outstanding narrow gauge railway. A great video too.
You are spot on.
Probably my favourite heritage railway for that exact reason, thanks for watching and enjoying, a video from the similar Welsh Highland Railway is coming soon!
Tornado is so beautiful
I'd love to ride on this Pullman train & go through the Welsh Highland someday !!! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🏴💞
A nice record, showing the grandeur of the Welsh scenery as well as the trains.
It's a very nice railway! As a technology fan, I'm interested in the bridges/transitions between the passenger cars, I don't know of any bridges between the passenger cars on small railways Can you make a little video about these bridges and how it works? I would be very grateful
Interesting.
thanks for video from Port Shepstone, south Africa. great to see double header NGG16's showing what they capable off.
You know its Wales when an adult says "wowie" unenthusiastically to get their kid excited 😂
OMG I GO TO LLANGOLLEN A LOT
Very nice! I was at there on the day the Jubilee went past!
I travelled last year from Australia, and among many UK activities patronised this line. Now I have to come back again to do the new section, but haven't time this year even though shortly to be in UK/Europe. A great achievement to open the extension. Let's hope GCR at Loughborough is next.
Superb video! I enjoyed every second of it. Many thanks, subbed!
Excellent video and camera work as usual i am really enjoying your lovely videos and camera work keep your lovely camera work up bye for now Philip
Thanks, should have another video up in a few weeks
Thanks i will keep an eye out
Thanks for sharing. Rare to see the Pitts Head shot, good work
yes I thought it was an interesting shot
Some nice footage there. It was a bitt damp though; I got drenched on the Friday, but managed to stay more or less under cover on Sunday. I've made a start on editing my video footage but, so far, I've only had time to to get two short videos on my channel. The rest will follow in the fullness of time...
The Sunday, the day me and my grandad were there was a great day for riding the trains. Lyd and Russel were fantastic, and Welsh Pony up the pass was also an excellent performance
Nice video 👍
Probably my more memorable trips to the UK,we loved our trip to Scotland, cheers David from NZ
Really is a beautiful part of the world. Subscribe as another video from the only railway in the UK that rivals Scotland (the Welsh Highland Railway) is coming soon
The more track that heritage railways can reinstate the better 👍🇬🇧
Took the train to Corwen last weekend. Made the journey in the DMU, which meant a much better view of the scenery, which is absolutely superb. I had forgotten just how pretty this part of Wales is. I do wish that the line could be extended eastwards a little way to create a parkway station, because car parking in Llangollen is difficult at busy times.
I think that is partly the point of Corwen, it has an excellent car park
That's good, but I suspect most visitors would have to drive through Llangollen on the A5 to get to Corwen in order to go back to Llangollen.
@@andrewhotston983 yes, simply not worth the money to extend sadly. Very much a 'wouldnt it be nice if' scenario.
Congratulations to all involved. Next stop Bala? Or Ruabon? Keep up the good work.
I'm sure it's the dream, but from what I've heard they're happy with Corwen for now
I remember hitchhiking near Corwen as a teenager and getting a lift from a gentleman who was organising the removal of material from the old Corwen Station for another heritage railway. Must have been nearly 60 years ago now. It seems appropriate that the station should be restored.
Yes. I like that they've gone with a new design with it but it really fits in
So pleased, will visit soon👍
Will be well worth a visit
Excellent shot. 👍👍👍 Like
But at New station
Greatest video of the decade
Great video thank you.
Great to see the railway achieve its goal after all their years of hard work. The station is superb and I will definitely be visiting it in September. Thank you.
I am sure you will enjoy your visit. A great railway
Fantastic....can just remember before closure on way to Criccieth in Dad's Ford Pop.
Considering this is an all new station, apart from the canopy structure and signal box which were reclaimed, it does catch the time frame very well. Probably not happening in my life or at all, but think of linking up to Bala Lake where this railway once went..., would more than double the existing distance.
@@johnatkin1096 The commercial properties built on the trackbed just before the A5 is crossed is what I noticed as a problem but what you point out would make the extension even a lot more expensive. But also a major issue would be one of the bridges over the river Dee completely missing. It was just a thought.
@@Tom-Lahaye Spoke to a member of staff at Llangollen, considering the immense financial difficulties of the past few years, they do not think they will extend again barring a huge external financial investment. Their current focus is solidifying what they already have
What makes you say the canopy is reclaimed?
@@boldford I have to confess that this was purely an assumption as the period details like the rivets made it look like a vintage structure to me, but if it is a new build those details are very well captured. In cases where I'm familiar with (ELR) the framing is reclaimed from demolished station canopies.
@@Tom-Lahaye How many "period" GW canopies have elevated horizontal tubular structural members. Even fewer have SE&CR capitals and bases on supporting columns. I could give other examples.
An exemplary restoration, well done! Loved the multi-chime steam whistle too! Congratulations to everyone who played a part in achieving this, you have every right to be very proud!
Yes, I think the austerity had that added during preservation
It isn't a restoration. It's a pastiche.
Its a nice restoration
It isn't a restoration. it's new build.
Welldone video :)
Thanks
Fantastic another victory over Beeching
Absolutely. It was great to see and a long time coming
Great to see a Pannier Tank doing local train duties
Steam must be preserved.
luckily we've done a pretty good job of it in the UK, so it can be enjoyed for generations to come
