I'm not normally a narrow gauge chap, but when in rome and a train's a train at the end of the day.

 

Here's a few snaps from last week on the WSR and a picnic on Porthmadog Station

It was mighty bad luck that you landed in Wales on a moserable wet day seeing as "we" have enjoyed a good many sunny days this summer of 2011. Not always hot, but definitely sunny! Your images have captured the essence of a wet day in Caernarvonshire and over the hill. As for that Pullman Observation Saloon, its a treasure. Thanks for posting.

Last thursday was the only day we saw rain all week, and didn't spoil the day from Caernarfon to Beddgellert and back. George and I actually preferred the open sided coach for that wind and smoke in the hair experience :locomotive:

 

Must return to catch the delights of Aberglaslyn ;)

Me to; and narrow gauge fan or not, come rain or shine the Welsh Highland is one of the finest steam rail journeys in Britain

All the best,

Dave.

I heartily agree. I read all the "discussion" over the whole WHR/WHHR issue and went to the WHR with an open mind, but to be honest I could not fault it. Price, service, delivery everything. A spectacular achievement and clearly being run in a way that should ensure it's future :drinks:
