I absolutely see why Wilbert Awdry came to a breath-taking railway that captures such mountainous lanscape in all of Wales. And why he based a neat _Railway Series_ book of it to equivalently advertise its suffice. Wonderful to promote a mountain railroad/railway making the premise of traveling, and railroading, a neat preliminary. Just think if Christopher Awdry had made a "Mountain Engines" book to counterpart as sort of a sequel to Wilbert's "Mountain Engines" book would be astounding to market. I humbly would suggest Christopher would base his book on the Manx Electric and Snaefell Mountain Tramway in the Isle of Man. I could kinda see where he would go to write out the settings to charter a new railway location, some new characters, and events to tie in what happened in the stories to make the book itself seem a bit constructive.

it's a nice ride up but I got a little scared on the way down thinking what would happen if the pinion became disengaged. My vivid sense of imagination gets the better of me sometimes!
They are usually pushed up, with loco on the rear. The steam engines are unusual as the boiler is on an angle - so when it's going up/down hill its level. I'm local, and like a lot of locals I have never been on the train up. A lot of locals have never even been to the top walking or otherwise.
nice views but had to turn the awful audio off...and what a rip off at £40.00 return trip....and £31.00 for the diesel train....plus the £6.00 charge for parking...will avoid the place...now far too crowded just look at that long line of walkers at 34 minutes....glad I walked up to the top of Snowdon via Crig Goch back in the 70's -80's...and the train did not even make it to the top so a double whammy if you paid full fair....
I think the fares are well worth the money. Where else would you get such mind blowing scenery in the British Isle? Don't be an old grump bag. You are the loser.
I know what you mean. TRAPPED in a confined space with that noise for so long would drive me nuts. I'd be jumping off the train and heading up the path on foot if that was me!
I remember doing the journey with one of the steam engines at the back of the carriage. Once the train got underway on the inclines, we had no problem of noisy people... ... the engine sound drowned them out.
Walked to the top some years ago and yes what a walk ! The sourpussies wouldn't let on the last train down, they probably made well enough money that day. Waugh 😢 eh

Lichtsignale bei d e r Geschwindigkeit?
greetings from indonesia
picture of the train would have been helpful. eg was it a railcar or was it being pushed by a steam or diesel loco?

i enjoyed a trip there in 1989 when the train derailed
On peux aussi apprécier sans déraillement :))
Wonderful video. Which country it was taken this video?
It was in North Wales.
This trip is in North Wales.
the sheep seem quite relaxed with the railway they are normally such nervous creachers.
Who is that Engine in the begining?! Is it Ladas or is it some other engine or a rejected engine?
Ladas was totaled in that accident.
Ok., And By the way Though it Was just a theory i made when i Commented Who that engine Was at the beginning

Never tell this to the Swiss, it's only a few cm's.
Lugar muito bonito
Or the Norwegians
Beau mais lent ! ou Lent mais beau ! Rayez la mauvaise version ...! pour ma part, j'aime bien la seconde .
Something in the caption about not going the whole way would be helpful, don't you think ?
I agree with the previous message why didn’t the train go to the top of the line .
The description says because the station was closed because of the snow
What's the function of the middle rail[s] inside the two outer rails?
Those ore for the cog drive system the tram has a cog with teeth and the two rails in the centwe is basically a flat gear that the cog meshes with,.
@@douglasmccarty1196 Thanks, Douglas
Oh yeah! Its also based off a book series called Enterprising engines by the reverend w awdry
Pour le passage d'un train miniature ...:)
@@nime77 Merci :)
Why did train stop?
It couldn't go any further due to the snow being too deep at the top.
Thank you for letting me know, hope the cafe was open for those at the he top.

I'd like to do this excursion one day, preferably without noisy kids on board.

Well, why not go on the trip when the children are in school...

Great ride, shame about the rap going on
Were you informed before the start, that you would not be going to the summit ? If not, I would want my money back.
Yes, they told us when we paid for the tickets. They also cleared a lot of the snow off the tracks so we could go further up the mountain.
Very good snow down Rail.
But video is Very bore only showing railroad.
Out side engine enjoying people running train ect....
🤔👎👌
Running train good seanaries not showing Very bore please..
B
Very uncomfortable and slow. Not a trip I intend to repeat.
It is going up a mountain. Did you expect the Royal Train.
Not a good landscape. No good scenery..
STAY AT HOME THEN. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT, Mt. EVEREST.????
@@rosemarydudley9954 the place really stinks. Not worth spending money or time
Il est vrai que l'organisation devrait changer le paysage de temps en temps !
