Some Narrow Gauge and Garden Railways in Wales 1997.

Hi,

I have been copying some more of the many old videos that I made many years ago. In 1997 a friend had been employed as a tour guide for 14 Americans visiting railways and garden railways in the UK. Unfortunately at the last minute the assistant tour guide fell ill and I was asked if I would like the job. The tour was to last two weeks and I could only manage a week however a retired friend said that he could manage the other. So, my wife and I did the first week which was in Wales and our friend the second week which was in England the change taking places at Welshpool in Mid-Wales he having driven my car there for us to return home; he would return to Cardiff suitably by train from I think Manchester. None of us having any experience of this kind of job but fortunately all of us being used to dealing with people. However it was a learning curve and a couple of Boarder Collies would have come in useful!
