THE WELSH HIGHLAND RAILWAY

This was a railway that never made anyone rich, it closed before the Second World War and by rights ought to have been consigned to memory. Yet, it survived to be rebuilt with the largest 2 ft gauge steam engines in the world running over it - South African Garratts!

The ride is great, the scenery's fantastic, the trains are roomy and comfortable, the staff are friendly. It is a wonderful railway through the magic scenery of the Snowdonia National Park, right to the foot of the largest mountain in England and Wales. The Millennium Commission, the European Union and the generosity of many people have combined to revive this great little railway.

The DVD tells the amazing story, takes you on to the footplate of the big little locomotives and on train and lineside to offer a fascinating insight into how the WHR was rebuilt and what there is to see and do. It is a wonderful memento of a journey on the line and as well as telling the story in an entertaining way, reveals much interesting information about how the miracle has happened.
