Went on holiday to Wales and went on Ffestiniog Railway. Ffestiniog Railway or Rheilffordd Ffestiniog (previously spelled Festiniog Railway) is a narrow gauge railway running from Porthmadog Harbour Station to Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales. Built, owned and operated by the Festiniog Railway Company it opened in 1836 and continues to operate as a popular tourist attraction.
Went for a ride on Double Fairlie David Lloyd George, which was the fourth locomotive to be built by the Festiniog Railway Company in its own workshops at Boston Lodge and the sixth FR Double Fairlie. It carries its name (after the former Liberal Prime Minister who was brought up locally and travelled on the FR) in English on one side and in Welsh (Dafydd Lloyd George) on the other side. It is locomotive number 12.
Also went on Lyd like I did last year Lyd is a 2-6-2T locomotive running on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways. Completed in 2010, it is a replica of a locomotive that used to run on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway.
It was completed in 1992 as a modern locomotive but with a traditional outline. As originally built it burned fuel oil and was running on a pair of old bogies with some parts dating back to the Victorian era. It has recently been rebuilt with coal firing and a pair of brand new bogies to the latest specification.
Also saw Welsh Highland Railway Garratt and Blanche and Linda, but did not go on them.
