Their Website :- The Welsh Highland Railway Project
An uninteresting run pulled by the most interesting engines. However now they've started to cross the Welsh highlands, they are starting to build what may be one of the best rides in the land.
Tiny 'platform & port-a-cabin' site next to Caernarfon Castle.
Large, but mainly empty site, at Dinas with a small museum.
Large, but also empty site at Waunfawr
Starts with unexciting ride, mainly flat, which follows a cycle path until Dinas.
It then heads inland to Waunfawr, but has not yet reached the mountainous parts yet. There's meant to be a good view of Snowdon, but it was too wet when we were there.
Nice glimpses of the sea, and the castle looks good as you arrive back at Caernarfon.

A 2-6-2 + 2-6-2-NGG16 Garratt |
Purpose built, brand new coaches. They are wider than the Ffestiniog coaches.
Situated at Dinas. I don't think you were allowed to look around.
Small museum with photo displays and a couple of engines at Dinas.
Cramped end of a port-a-cabin at Caernarfon, but a nice man who helps run the railway say's they'll be building a new shop soon.
None.
Public house next to Waunfawr
Not tested.
Great view of the castle !
