Brilliant filming! And I just loved the twilight shots of the two double engines at Minffordd. The quiet drama at

The best FR event Iv ever been to. Credit to the staff and volunteers, I miss volunteering at the FR but I always feel welcome when I step onto harbour station

This has got to be one of the best FR videos ever made; the ‘atmosphere’ of this production is fantastic.

Excellent videography as always. Every video has new angles and shots to keep it interesting. Bravo!

Excellent camera work and editing, a great record of a brilliant event,even I managed to be on one shot!

[@jgwalker71]

Fantastic film, great shots, loved the drone footage in particular!

Thank you for sharing this video! I celebrated my 50th with a train ride from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog in 2006. I then made a promise to myself to return on the occasion of my 70th birthday. Unfortunately, I won´t be around to keep this promise.

Excellent video as expected, loved the gravity boat car. Ray.

Some great early morning slippage from Lyd, with cold damp rails, a tight curve and a decent length train. Some good control from the driver!

[@laurenceskinnerton73]

Excellent!

Fabulous Festiniog……….as usual!

[@blindpugh12]

A great weekend, even if a little damp on Friday! We were the gentleman in the tweed Inverness Cape and his lady in the black Bussel coat and black hat (and on crutches!).

[@benbrampton8196]

Great event!

[@Torpdoctor]

Fair play to FR management having the common sense to still run the gravity train

[@rosemaryssealpup]

Stunning record of the event! Did the up trains unhook the boat in the platform during the regular Tan y Bwlch stop or was there a brief pause above the loop after departure? Also, was the twilight service all the way up or only halfway? Thanks for this

[@Stephan-bj3lh]

Steam engines have a sound that makes it seem like it's alive!!!!!!!!.I love it.
