Welsh Highland Railway now in stock
Posted by Peter Middleton on
Our latest release, a Driver’s eye view of the Welsh Highland Railway from Caernarfon to Porthmadog is now in stock on DVD and Blu-ray disc, and available to download.
Filmed on board Beyer Garratt steam loco number 138 from the trackside and from a helicopter flying overhead, this is the narrow gauge line as never seen before.

Narrated by Arfon Haines Davies, running time is 111 minutes.

We are just finishing off our next DEV. The Welsh Highland Railway, our
first narrow gauge steam DEV since the Ffestiniog some 20 years ago!
This time we are in full high definition. Filmed during the summer of 2013

Haines Davies - who just happened to narrate our Ffestiniog and Conwy DEV
all those years ago, and of course...
