Alighting from a @festrail train at Dduallt and watching it circle around before leaving you in complete solitude in the mountains is something I suggest should be on every railway enthusiast’s ‘Bucket List’. (Someone once made a rather nice model of this, you know 😉)

Before steam engines were used in 1863, slate was transported down from the mines in Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port by gravity trains. Today the railway runs occasional gravity trains for fun. One such train has just gone past our house. (PS. This is not today’s event that I am beyond excited about 🤣)
