Winifred Steams Again in Wales - Bala Lake Railway

Winifred, Past & Present
Scenes of the 1885 Hunslet built narrow-gauge locomotive, Winifred working in the Penrhyn slate quarries in 1962 and now back working the Bala Lake Railway.
Returned to Wales in 2012 after many years hidden away in a museum in America. After restoration, 2015 sees Winifred back in traffic.
Thanks to the Bala Lake Railway (www.bala-lake-railway.co.uk) and Timeline Events (www.timelineevents.org) for organising the recreation of the slate train plus John Tennent for allowing me to use the footage from his DVD - The Last of the Industrial Narrow Gauge Railways.

Great video. I love the line side footage.

Wonderful to see her doing exactly what she was built to do and looking externally like she has just left Dinorwic

Great little film, very nicely filmed & edited. She looks stunning in her circa. 1962 clothes! Thanks for posting.

Great little railway. That engine is not ready for a museum yet.

wonder what kind of repair work do you think they needed to do to get her steaming again
