- Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway compilation footage filmed between 2014 and 2018. Running through the beautiful scenery of Snowdonia both railways are wonderful to visit. Find out more here www.festrail.co.uk/
Almost too much! I never thought I'd live to see the WHR running again, but here it is, looking like it's never been away. Brilliant filming and editing - thank you.
Thank you. Rebuilding the WHR was a magnificent achievement
Breathtaking! No human noises to detract from the wonderful sounds of the steam trains and scenery. Perfect choice of locations and excellent editing. Thank you for your effort 🙏
Thank you so much. It's certainly one of my favourite railways to visit. Glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks for 22 min. of viewing pleasure, Austin.
Thanks for enduring those 22 minutes! Glad you enjoyed it
Love it 👍👍👍
Cheers, glad you liked it
Wales is a very pretty county for making holiday. Your railways are wonderful there.
Yes they are, thanks for watching
Wales is gorgeous 😍 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🏴💞
This is a fantastic experience for anyone who loves steam train travel .I shall be going to have that experience in September when I visit north Wales. I've had a great time last year thoroughly enjoyed it.
Yes indeed, wonderful area and wonderful railways
Fantastic footage brilliantly filmed and the scenery is breathtaking! Thanks for sharing, Paul, UK Rails
Thanks very much. You definitely can't ignore that wonderful scenery that the lines pass through!
A brilliant compilation! You had just about every engine on each line. Good to see the Tasmanian Garrett and Fiji as well. It made me realise how the two railways enhance the scenery. This was well demonstrated in your last long distance pan.
Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated
Awesome seeing man riding in action!
Yes, it's a great sight. Thanks for watching
Quality as ever Austin, a fine compilation covering many a trip out for you .Hard to pick a shot that stands out as they are all top draw 👍
Thanks Steve, we always enjoy a visit to this bit of North Wales, never come back disappointed
Once again, the fairy tale railroad enchanted thanks to Austin's great camera work. - Heinz
Thank you very much Heinz. Sadly this wonderful railway, like so many others has had to close for the time being
Great footage, I especially liked the slate train with the two George England locos double heading.
Thank you. Yes those shots were filmed on a charter when we were lucky with some good sunshine
Super film greatly enjoyed in these dark days. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome, many thanks for watching
A fabulous compilation, thank you Austin. So many memorable shots with (IMHO) those standing out at 04:05 with the two carefully timed trains, 09:05 and 11:20 - superb framing and locations and, presumably your own favourite at the end, the 5* magic finale. Hard to describe the enjoyment of watching! Kind regards, Bob.
Thanks Bob, the first shot you mentioned was on a charter in 2014 and had obviously been set up by the organiser to get the two trains passing. I've asked if a similar shot can be attempted again in November. You're correct in saying the last shot is a favourite and it semed appropriate to finish with a train going away even though this is a shorter version to the one on the full video of the 2014 charter
Awesome footage. Stunning scenery.
Thanks very much, yes the scenery is superb and makes a great backdrop for a video
An absolutely stunning compilation Austin, covering both lines perfectly and many shots in glorious sunshine, I particularly liked the low shot at the Cob in the evening sunlight.
Thanks Bob, we've had some lovely days out at both railways over the years. We had hoped to make another attempt at the Cob shot during last years charter but the light was never good enough. Hopefully this November we may get lucky
Keep the Ffestiniog videos coming. This railway is always going to be special to me.
Thanks very much Martyn. Rest assured there will be plenty of Ffestiniog videos during the year
Thank you for the video
You're welcome, thanks for watching
Superb sound and masterful camera motion. All around a great video. Thank you for sharing it.
Many thanks for your kind comments. Hopefully the railway can resume operations again later in the year
Thank you Austin, a great appetiser for my planned summer Hols this year.
Many thanks Geoff and I hope you get some pleasant sunny days in Wales!
Fantastic shots.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic video!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video
Those hunslets have a lovely note when working hard and fast,have always loved the sisters
Yes, me too. It's a superb sound. Thanks for watching
@@acw71000 I had whistfully hoped that one day Charles would have visited and the trio would be together again .
Great locations, expertly filmed as always Austin. Regards, Dave.
Many thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed it
Oh Wow!!! Excellent footage brilliant. :-) x.
Thanks for your kind comments Lynn
Exceptional compilation Austin. Coverage of the great narrow gauge railway in Wales. All captured in superb countryside. Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A
Many thanks, always enjoy visiting these railways, hard working locos in great scenery
Wow! Amazing video! 👍👍👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
@@acw71000 😀 I will be glad to see you from my cannel about trains, friend!
I once went to Statfold Barn for a privet day out, and we had Fiji to our selves all day!!! :-D Wonderful engine. :-)
It is a fine loco. The shot included here was taken on a charter at the WHR which ws excellent
Een genot om te zien.. De natuur. De infra-structuur. De smalspoorloks. 9:05 leuk gedaan.
Thank you for watching. It is a wonderful railway with spectacular scenery
You have a new subscriber, Really enjoyed the footage & liked at 1:00 coming out of the little tunnel 👍😎
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you subscribing
Fabulous footage. I love the composition of placing the trains in the landscape. It brought home the place the F-WHR has within the scenery and the amazing restorations of locomotives and stock. Particularly enjoyed the appearance of the now-departed K1!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the video. I think that when you have such wonderful scenery it has to be included in the shot whenever possible. It will be good to see K1 return one day, the shots here are from a charter in 2014, the only time I've seen her
@@acw71000 How good of you take time to reply to my observations. I sort of gathered it was previous footage of the K1 but it was much appreciated. You know sometimes I think we all tend to concentrate on the machines and underplay the line's surroundings. However, nobody could accuse you of that in this offering. Keep up the good work.
@@JohntheHuxter K1's back in steam this year :-)
@@WillsNarrowGaugePage Yep, I've seen the news but thanks for letting me know.
Brilliant Austin!
Noel
Many thanks Noel, much appreciated
I LOVE IT ❤️ 🚂
Thanks for watching
@@acw71000 Gladly.
Super great video :)
Thanks very much Simon
Outstanding video I love them 2 railways definitely the best ones in wales
Thanks very much. Quite agree with you, they're the best
You’re welcome
Great video. It must have taken a while to do. Thank you.
Many thanks. The compilations do take a while but it gives me a chance to use the clips a little differently so it's very enjoyable to do
Superb footage and great editing Austin! Some very enthusiastic running by the crews and, if I'm not mistaken, a couple of appearances by the little K1 Garrett, which i believe is now at Statfold Barn. Wonderful scenery as always. Thanks for a very enjoyable video! Best wishes. Ken
Many thanks Ken, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I was lucky enough to get some shots of K1 on the 2014 charter and I think she was withdrawn not long after that. I'm sure the good folks at Statfold will do an excellent job on her and hopefully we'll see her in action once again
Most I love the little Garratts
Not so little Nina!
Austin, my favoured narrow gauge railway
Me too John, no other comes close
Let me be one of the first to comment. Truly your best TO DATE! May you continue for ever!!! del.
Thanks very much. Always room for improvement though
Excellent compilation of the F&WHR Austin, great locations used. Really like the shots at 7:17 and 10:16. Regards James
P.S - I've another layout video due out soon and I think your going to like it.
Many thanks James, our favourite railway I believe. I'll look forward to your video
really beautiful train and surroundings :) has added a like and a subscribe
Thanks very much, it is a fantastic railway running through some of the best scenery in Britain
@@acw71000 😀 you han always thanks me with a subscript in my Channel 😉
Good substitute whilst there's no trains thanks 👍
Thanks for watching, helps the withdrawal symptoms until things start again!
@@acw71000 Yep not long now!
I watch the color of the stack smoke on a lot of these FWHR videos and I must compliment the skill of some of the firemen.
Yes, the Ffestiniog does have some very skilled drivers and fireman
Which railway was the last scene filmed on? It's absolutely spectacular!
The Ffestiniog. The train is approaching Tanygrisiau
Incredible footage Austin! I work on a radio show that has a weekly 'Sounds of Wales' Quiz. Can we possibly use your sounds from this video to feature in our quiz?
Thank you. I'd be happy for you to use the sounds for the quiz.
Blimey!
Indeed!
Hi. I'm an electronic musician from Warrington who would love to use sound samples of some of these trains in a track I'm working on. Is that okay?
Hello and thanks for asking. I'm happy for you to use the sound for your project. Cheers
12:04. Why are the freight cars going down the hill with no locomotive?
The railway recreates from time to time the early days. Slate would be brought down from Blaenau Ffestiniog in these wagons and gravity would carry them down to the docks at Porthmadog. Horses, and later, locomotives would haul the wagons back up
