Oh to have steam as visible as that, at least you guys are sure your driving a steam loco. Thanks for enduring the cold and for sharing.

Hello Ace great videos throughout your thread really enjoying watching them and its nice to see steam coming from the engines in your latest video even though it looks cold it must have been fun.

Thanks for your kind words folks. I love steaming in the cold, those plumes! I just don't like keeping the gas cylinders warm tucked in my jacket, seems like a bit of a liability. :roll:

Part 2 of my visit to the Welsh Highland Railway. Again blessed with good weather and another beautiful railway.

Great video of a wonderful line, not yet travelled that section but I felt I was there!
All the stock looks so well maintained and when the weather is good, the views are magnificent.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Used to have some good fun in the Aberglaslyn tunnel, when I was involved in outdoor activity stuff. Shame they ruined it by putting a railway back through it :roll: I'll fetch my coat... :lol:
