    The sheer dedication surrounding this railway is exemplified by the work of the video team - in the past year or so, they have clearly been looking at how to raise their already impressive game and bring us new ways to tell the stories - the fact that all this solid footage has been assembled into such a pleasing whole in seemingly not much more than 72hrs speaks volumes - well done! \m/

    38:09 That is such an adorable bit of infrastructure, with the line going over the bridge around the loop under itself with the Welsh hills in the distance beyond.

      It was built by volunteers so that the ‘deviation’ line could gain enough height to bypass a flooded part of the line. We’re very proud of it and it is unique in the British isles.

    We rode both your railways in 2019. It is delightful to view these videos from our home in Oregon, USA. Keep them coming as I know you will.

    I think this every time I watch one of these, but this time I'm going to say it: the quality of your videos is astonishing! There are broadcasters out there that could learn a thing or two. I'm dead impressed.

    VoR loco in black with lion & wheel crests and a carmine & cream rake; the other train in GWR colours: absolutely love it!

    Very good - well worth a watch even without keeping up to date on what's happening.
    The advent of DIY aerial shots makes a big difference, as does the quality of image - even whilst in motion - from today's sensitive but portable cameras.

      Glad you enjoyed it. We try to make sure there are plenty of good views of the trains in the countryside as well as the more ‘nuts and bolts’ chapters.

    Regarding Mountaineer and speculation about when certain parts were fabricated, fixed etc. . . .
    Shouldn't each loco have some kind of service history documenting these things? Plus drawings, photos, video.

    • @FfestiniogWelshHighland
      @FfestiniogWelshHighland  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      These days documentation is standard practice but in earlier decades not so much.

    Splendid stuff - as usual! I've still got loads of videos from the weekend to edit and upload to my channel; the first three are on, but not up to your standard of course.

    Great video! Only visited the VoR and FR in April and am already missing them.
    I wonder, when was the last time there were 5 locos at Rhiw Goch simultaneously?

    Please, please put her back in FR Green with Red lining?
    She looked superb in the 1980s in those colours. Everything seems to be shades of Maroon these days, all very nice, but The ALCO looked great in Green with her big Red nameplates!
    Excellent job so far, cant wait to see her running once more. You will probably finish her before I complete my 16mil model I started in the late 1980s

      It is a Dick Kerr. Built for use in WW1.

      ​@@FfestiniogWelshHighland Thanks. I've seen old b & w pics, I had no idea one still existed. A magnificently austere and uncompromising machine.
      Is it operational? If not, can it be made so?

    • @FfestiniogWelshHighland
      @FfestiniogWelshHighland  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You would need to ask the engineers at the Vale of Rheidol. I imagine the plan would be to retire it to running order if at al possible. A great looking loco and a historically important one too.

    I think Google might have it wrong: it translates the Welsh name of Devil's Bridge as " a bridge on a monk"!!

    • @chrisburton9645
      @chrisburton9645 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's because the Welsh older name (than the current tourism marketing) name refers to the monks of Strata Florida who probably built the bridge in the 12 Century.
